In the solo exhibition “Where Would I Be,” we are invited to follow footsteps of the protagonist “Bean Man” for an unknown quest in the woods. Yet it is hard to define whether Bean Man is there hoping to find something out, or to be found. The artist applies various decorative techniques to create different faces of the woods, and different scenarios being in there.
