Limit state is an engineering term for the state of a structure in which it either loses its ability to resist external influences or receives unacceptable deformation or local damage. In this exhibition project, I see a person as an engineering structure that is constantly under the influence of external forces. Due to these forces the efforts arise in the nodes of the construction that are on one hand connected to such structural elements as uncertainty, doubtfulness, fear of being different, fear of being misunderstood and, on the other hand, self-sufficiency, determination, calmness, self-reliance, taking responsibility for making decisions. If the limit state is reached by the object it means the destruction of the structure or the impossibility of its further use, the person on the other hand stays on the verge of choices in the internal dialogue: - when and what kind of deformation becomes destructive, making a person will-less, weak and unable to resist the routine of every-day life - after what moment and what states is the renewal of the of thoughts and feelings takes place.
