Swallow

Images of swallows, captured in eternal flight, are applied to the surface of a wood saw blade using high-relief printing. Their trajectory forms a circle, in which the motion is without end, transforming into a stable sign of repetition. Printing on a utilitarian tool is often perceived as something extraneous—an impedance to its intended function.

The disk takes on the significance of sharp boundaries of a separate life, where the attempt to go beyond one’s own limits often results in a return to the starting point. The swallow here is connected to a life that strives for motion but remains confined within its own rhythm.
