Boll is a reflection on the relationship between inner and outer world. Inside there is “I”, the single. Outside there are “They”, the multitude of things, people and ideas. The artist imagines these worlds separated by an invisible membrane and focuses his attention on the act of crossing it, that is, the action to move from one world to another.
