What if every line could remember the moment it was created?
This project explores that thought by treating every line as its own little life. Each one is born with a timestamp, a unique set of characteristics and its own colourful identity. Some grow quickly, some take their time. Some live long lives, while others disappear much sooner.
As each line ages, it slowly grows, changing direction as it travels. Every twist and turn becomes part of its story. Although the movement appears random, each line is confined to its own invisible space, giving every life a set of boundaries it can never leave.
When a line reaches the end of its lifespan, it doesn’t simply vanish. It fades to a soft grey and remains on the canvas as a memory of where it has been, while a new generation begins its own journey.
Watching the artwork over time reveals hundreds of small, individual stories unfolding at once. Some areas become dense with memories, while others remain surprisingly sparse. No two runs are ever the same.
Like many of my projects, this started with a simple question. It isn’t trying to represent anything literally; it’s more about exploring how a few straightforward rules can create something that feels surprisingly human.
