Concrete and Bars

The world is a messy place, filled with installations that both contain. Some are made of hard steel, standing as representations of our desire for security. Others, like the barred cages that imprison, represent a more restrictive form of limitation. But are they truly different? Perhaps the line between these worlds is not as clear as we assume.

• Questions arise about the nature of liberty when confronted with such overwhelming structures.
• Is the comfort provided by these borders truly outweigh the sacrifice of our own agency?

This complex relationship between steel and bars forces us to analyze the very pillars of our culture.

Walls That Hold More Than Brick

Our limitations are often built of more than just mortar. They can be forged from insecurity, strengthened by memories, and sometimes adorned with representations that reflect who we believe ourselves to be. Breaking down these walls requires not just physical strength, but also a willingness to confront our deepest inhibitions and the determination to transform them into something better.

Existence Between the Lines

• Guidelines define our every action, a deliberately designed lattice that directs us through the days.
• Expression takes on a novel form, confined to the borders that separate our course. It's a world where fantasy flows wild within the constraints of what's deemed acceptable.

Inside these edges, a different kind of beauty emerges. It's a existence where precision is prized, and every detail is deliberately positioned.
