This project was born from an experiment that consists in arranging shapes in a random way by drawing the places where they overlap. To describe this superposition, the sides of the shapes are progressively reduced and if a part of the outline is inscribed in the other shape then it is drawn.

In fine, a shape needs the other shapes to be described. I see in this relationship a metaphor of our own existence as human beings where each one defines itself in relation to the others.
