This collection continues the artist’s reflection on balance — an artistic intervention, a collage woven into a sketched-out moment of dialogue. Kaja Kant explores the way space is filled or left unfilled by the rhythms of the material that constructs each figure. The line becomes a defining element of identity. Yet, the characters no longer seem to communicate through senses; they appear suspended, dormant.
Each composition carries silence — a quality intensified by the open space deliberately left in the central part of each piece. It is meant to be quiet, hollow, even still. Though the series is rendered in a light, airy key, it speaks of an invisible but powerful presence: space. This space becomes a safe zone for dialogue, integration, and connection — even when such communication feels absent.
The series serves as a symbol of today’s communication landscape — one defined by distance, digital filters, and simulated proximity. In a time of internet-driven interaction, we turn toward each other without truly seeing one another. Full dialogue has been fractured. The artist suggests we’ve learned to exist within a layer of insulation — a kind of soft shell created by our screens and devices, floating in the cloud.
“Open Faces” is a visual meditation on the paradox of presence in the digital age. It investigates the outlines of emotional contact — or its erosion — and the silent void left between us. Through minimal form, suspended gestures, and carefully held space, the artist invites us to feel the absence that defines so much of our modern connection. It is not the lack of contact that echoes — but the space that once held it.
