A Passage Through 
For HATAK
By Michael Wolf 

About the work:
"A Passage Through" is a digitally imagined sculptural installation reflecting on the passage of time. 
 
"Up near the roof all our thoughts are clear. In the attic it is a pleasure to see the bare rafters of the strong framework. Here we participate in the carpenter's solid geometry."
 
"But in the daydream itself, the recollection of moments of confined, simple, shut-in space are experiences of heartwarming space, of a space that does not seek to become extended, but would like above all still to be possessed. In the past, the attic may have seemed too small, it may have seemed cold in winter and hot in summer. Now, however, in memory recaptured through daydreams, it is hard to say through what syncretism the attic is at once small and large, warm and cool, always comforting."
- Gaston Bachelard, The Poetics of Space
