when i was a child, i used to have strong emotional responses to disposed-of objects that i encountered on the streets. i felt that each object must possess a soul that suffers from such a desolate margin existence.
when i found this car door frame on the streets of berlin, i decided to use it as a medium for connecting to my childhood self.
