Subject: [Notes] Thin Lines: Walk and Visual Storytelling workshop | 29th June - 1st July
Watch this video closely.
THIN LINES are like strings of the violin.
THIN LINES are fragile, and can break easily.
We draw, cross, escape and step on, THIN LINES.
THIN LINES to push and pull boundaries.
Elastic. Invisible. Sensitive.
THIN LINES differ for you and me
Find yourself between infinite THIN LINES.
