Refusal. Isolation. Myth. Confession. Conflict. Transgression. Rebirth — or fall. The set moves through seven states of change, following Ovid: like Arachne, the Captain weaves the flaws of reality into his own web and wins the right to live inside it.

Asymptote of Arrival was performed and exhibited at 48 Stunden Neukölln in two consecutive editions, 2025 and 2026. Earlier room-scale work was made at Apartment Project Berlin.
