In my work, the only passage between the inside and outside is the small window-like opening; like a peep-hole window of a medieval castle, it suggests withdrawnness. This window also gives an indication of how large my "building" is. The building is encapsulated; it is a space-trap, a great cavern with all its potential for expressing apartness, mystery and entombment. It serves as a metaphor for a tomb, retreat, or the womb, providing a symbolic dwelling for the human spirit.
