The Bay explores how places and architecture can be used to describe social interconnections and collective memory. Created by people and shaped over time, architecture becomes a reflection of the society that inhabits it.

The exhibition was situated in Leipzig’s historic public bath, a partially preserved Art Nouveau building that has stood largely unused since 2002. Suspended between beauty and decay, the building embodies the traces of different eras, values, and transformations. Its current condition raises questions about preservation, change, and the meaning we attach to places.

The drawings presented in The Bay respond to this architectural context through layered structures, fragments, and overlapping forms. Like the building itself, they resist simple readings and reveal meaning through accumulation, interruption, and the passage of time. In this dialogue between image and space, architecture emerges not merely as a backdrop, but as a carrier of history, identity, and shared experience.
