Based on Thoreau's cabin, an installation about the unsafety of the shell. Constructing a deserted, sinking cabin inside near an abandoned train station, habitation widens negating the protective shell of a clear, expected structure. The potential of a fixed point of philosophical and poetic isolation transforms: the possibility of freedom is everywhere, in the infinity of the horizon. All possibilities are open - a vast space, this is "Walden"
