For me the closest definition of home as a physical being is a block of flats, so i decided to use it as a basis to build my art form. To do it, I decomposed it into a set of prime factors and I chose a concrete slab as a main building block for my graphic arts. It is a solid, easy to define and simple to process material. The concept of home is a personal sphere and as it turned out, relatively difficult to describe for most of participants entering my project. They were the reason for me to distinguish eight words depicting eight consecutive block forms. Graphic arts create highly dehumanised space, but at the same time are related to feelings that are the most common for us. Gravure printing enables the effect of a concrete surface with brutalist aesthetic and also haptic experience in closer contact with the printout.
