The work emerged from my exploration of codependency - how it manifests in the body, space, and interaction. I examined a state in which personal boundaries gradually become shaped by other peopleās opinions, authority, and external reference points.
During the process, my understanding shifted from dependency toward togetherness. For me, being together does not mean losing oneself, but interacting in a way that allows something third - something new and whole - to emerge from the encounter between two people.
The work captures my transition from codependency to togetherness as a form of interaction in which each person maintains their own integrity while creating something together with another.
