The work is presented as a sketchbook documenting the process of finding an artistic idea. Each spread is structured as a dialogue between the initial concept and its critical reflection: one page features a sketch with the artist’s notes, while the facing page contains the curator’s comments, suggestions for refinement, or an explanation of why the idea is unsuitable for further realization. Thanks to this structure, the viewer can trace not only the artist’s thought process but also how the concept evolves under the influence of feedback.
The focus is placed on ideas that typically remain outside the finished work—rejected options, preliminary sketches, and attempts that were never completed.
Although each of these concepts was rejected at the initial stage, none of them vanished completely. Gathered into a single volume by the artist, they acquire new meaning and become parts of a cohesive statement.
The rejection of an idea here is not viewed as negating the work already done, but rather as a phase that can itself become artistic material. Comments, revisions, and explanations for the rejection are not hidden from the viewer but are incorporated into the piece alongside the drawings.
