“I am a believer in graphics. I look for outlets to tell the story of a line. I follow a line and look for points of contact where a line becomes a surface and a surface becomes a form, a space. I want to express movement through space, to perceive the presence of a surface in a form and the presence of a form in a space. The angle of view determines what we see and perceive of space. Playing with changing the angle of view and shifting the perspective on this landscape expands space in every sense,” says Kaev.
