Typology of waiting

 In 2019 statistics show that the average website visitor waits up to 3,6 seconds for a website to load. We are constantly in a big hurry it seems.  There’s nothing more annoying than this endlessly turning loaders filing in the gap between two virtual spaces.

In the physical space we have no sign for waiting, but don’t we constantly wait for something? Don’t we wait to grow older when we are very young? Later on, we wait to get in college or get a job, or find the right one to get married, and then wait to have kids, and then wait for them to grow and so on…  It seems to me that waiting is the most permanent situation we find ourselves into.

By deciding to paint those loaders in such a manner I wanted to give them “body” and a different kind of existence, I wanted to take them out of the screen, bring them to the physical world and give them a place and a space to exist and to be contemplated upon.
