'Over time, I have collected shapes – in this case all in the form of houses. I study their details closely: the tilt of a roof, the rhythm of windows, subtle shifts in proportion. My fascination with unique structures is endless, whether it’s a simple shed or a complex architectural form I hadn’t considered before. Communicating through built forms has become central to my practice. A house can carry memories, emotions, and ideas all at once – offering space for the viewer’s own interpretation. Houses have always fascinated me. Both a mental house and a physical one. A thought about a shell that gathers together what is contained in a life.' – Andreas Samuelsson
