"The confessional is a vessel for human secrets.
The confessional and interrogation room share the same intimate proportions. The spaces become containers, holding people’s voices and secrets.
The spaces are luminous and bare but it is our knowledge of their use that makes them more complicated. The rooms change, not physically or visually, but in the way we think or feel in response to the spaces. People confess their sins and ask for forgiveness surrounded by the traces of other people’s confessions."
