Narrow Bridge

“The whole world is a very narrow bridge, and the most important thing is not to be afraid.”

Rabbi Nachman of Breslov

About the work

The installation transforms this teaching into a physical experience. A narrow bridge stretches through the landscape, inviting us to imagine ourselves crossing it—moving between what we know and what we cannot yet see.

For me, the bridge represents those moments in life when the path ahead feels uncertain and there is no way around it. We have to keep moving forward, even when we are afraid.

The surrounding landscape becomes part of the work. The bridge does not lead to a fixed destination; it becomes a passage—a space between one place and another, one state of being and the next.

Narrow Bridge is about fear, transition, trust, and the courage to continue walking.
