Brick and Cages

The world is a messy place, filled with installations that both contain. Some are made of unyielding brick, standing as manifestations of our desire for control. Others, like the iron cages that imprison, represent a more severe form of containment. But are they truly different? Perhaps the boundary between these domains is not as clear as we assume.

• Speculations arise about the nature of freedom when confronted with such imposing structures.
• Is the security provided by these borders truly outweigh the sacrifice of our own choice?

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

Walls That Hold More Than Brick

Our boundaries are often built of more than just material. They can be forged from doubt, strengthened by memories, and sometimes adorned with representations that reflect who we believe ourselves to be. Breaking down these walls requires not just physical power, but also a willingness to face our deepest worries and the courage to transform them into something stronger.

Existence Between the Lines

The world exists outside these marks, a constant beacon of possibility. Yet, inside lies a unique kind of perception. It's a space where order reigns, offering a sense of security.

• Rules form our every step, a carefully constructed lattice that guides us through the hours.
• Expression takes on a novel form, restricted to the borders that outline our path. It's a sphere where thought grows wild within the constraints of what's allowed.

Inside these edges, a distinct kind of wonder emerges. It's a existence where precision is prized, and every element is carefully placed.
