M/OTHER

M/Other takes the form of a vertical structure composed of outward-facing red cones arranged in a rigid grid. The surface protects and pushes back at the same time. It keeps its distance.

The cones repeat without variation. Their alignment produces a field that is stable and demanding, where each element holds its place and contributes to a continuous pressure. The structure does not develop over time; it persists.

The cones recall training markers. They introduce a sequence that must be negotiated, step by step, adjustment after adjustment, without resolution. The structure holds the logic of an obstacle course without pause, where movement continues but never arrives.

Care appears here in this condition. It is sustained through repetition and remains in place. What is required is not a single act, but the capacity to continue.

The title M/Other marks a split that remains active. The figure of the mother is positioned as indispensable, while being reduced to the function she performs. What is sustained is not her presence, but the role she carries. Red extends across the entire surface. It maintains the intensity.
