Disintegration

The essence of Willem de Kooning’s work lies in the sustained tension between abstraction and figuration. His pieces are characterized by the absence of a recognizable setting; figures seem to emerge from chaos only to dissolve back into it, thereby creating a sense of continuous formal transformation. A series of de Kooning’s works, «Women, ” served as the starting point for creating this art object. The figure exists in a state of ambiguity and incompleteness, where the boundaries between form and space are completely erased.

As a setting, I chose an old historical swimming pool called «Zwembad Ouwen Dok» in the city of Mechelen, Belgium.
