Soft Power

This red rope used to be a part of a photo-installation by photographer Scarlett Hoof↗, and somehow 1000 meter of it ended up in my hands.

What started as an urge for making something humble but forceful grew into the making of this sculptural braid. It is made through notoriously repeating the same thing over and over. It was a collective and performative act of unwrapping the nylon rope which I braided into a new shape.

Soft Power became a seven meter long braid that was shown during Springboard Art Fair↗ in 2023.
