Borderlines Labyrinth
Borderlines Labyrinth is the starting point of the project. Its colors represent nine patterns within emotions, relationships, self-image, and impulses that can become especially intense. Together, they form the framework used to understand borderline. The work follows the search through this inner labyrinth, back toward connection and self-love.
The nine colors translate these patterns into experiences many people may recognize in different forms and intensities:
Pink: Fear of losing someone
Green: Changing closeness in relationships
Violet: Searching for who you are
Yellow: Acting before thinking
Red: Turning pain inward
Light Blue: Emotional ups and downs
Grey: Feeling empty or disconnected
Orange: Strong feelings of anger
Dark Blue: Losing your sense of clarity under stress
The title refers to moving through shifting inner borders of feelings, thoughts, and identity while trying to find direction. The word Borderlines is built from 256 squares, representing the 256 possible combinations of five or more characteristics and showing how familiar human experiences can, when several intensify and come together, form the pattern recognized as borderline.

Each work is set in a single frame of wengé, oak, and walnut, where the darker outer structure gives weight and the inner walnut edge draws the eye inward. Red and cherry tones carry warmth, charge, and urgency, allowing the frame to resonate. The contrast between the deep wood tones and these vivid accents creates a structure that feels both grounded and alive. In that way, the frame echoes Borderlines Labyrinth itself: a mapped interior in which tension, vulnerability, and meaning are held within a carefully built order.
