A room can be considered as a private sanctuary, the door being a physical and psychological boundary between interior and exterior life. The closed door provides an atmosphere of meditation, isolation, anonymity and also eroticism: intimacy and a feeling of confidence.
When closing the door the doorknob is pulled towards the inside of the room, prolonging the gesture of closing the door and making the doorknob disappear on the corridor side. The entry is truly locked because the door has transformed into a wall from the corridor side: it has become a guardian of anonymity, the keeper of a secret moment.
