About
An interactive installation built as a fragment of a bar interior — a small space where visitors can occasionally drink coffee or tea, watch television, or listen to vinyl records. The work explores unfinished stories and human presence, where meaning emerges through shared experience rather than consumption. With only two seats, the installation emphasizes intimate encounters between strangers and reflects on memory, connection, and transformation — suggesting that even incomplete beginnings can become something meaningful.
