▶︎ CURTAINS
The architecture of the cathedral becomes a membrane behind which an unreachable world is concealed. It is not materially tangible for the religious community, but remains in a virtual sphere of the imagination. In this way, an analogy unfolds between the spiritual spaces of faith and the equally virtual spaces of the digital worlds in which we live. Both places of longing are full of symbols in which people search for insight, certainty and hope.
