A fragment (part) of an old piano, found at a dump, turned into an imaginary window.
This window is not an architectural element, but a passage into the world of the unconscious — into the space of dreams and memories.

The graphic images inside are abstract. They resemble attempts to remember something — to restore what has been lost, barely visible memories and images.
The fabric hanging from above — is it a curtain? Or a tablecloth, with a broken glass left behind, from which it is no longer possible to drink? Or perhaps it’s a theater curtain — a theater of objects, where each element in the assemblage brings new meanings and associations.
A forgotten shoe? Or one deliberately left by someone — carefully placed within the frame, blending with the wooden surface, becoming its continuation.
Nearby lies a precious stone — or perhaps a teardrop, or a shard of glass.

In psychoanalytic and poststructuralist thought, an assemblage is a way of describing the subject not as a solid, fixed entity, but as a temporary composition of heterogeneous elements: memories, sensations, fantasies, objects, cultural codes, and both internal and external fragments.
Such an assemblage has no center. It is unstable — it collapses, reshapes itself, and is created again.

Each element — the shoe, fabric, frame, glass, drawing — carries a fragment of something larger: memory, desire, loss.
This is not a scene with a single meaning, but a structure in which the viewer becomes part of the assemblage — piecing together fragments, memories, and associations.

The work asks more questions than it answers. It invites the viewer to reflect, to decode, and to respond to the title:
Which foot never returned?
