Steel and Cages

The world is a complicated place, filled with installations that both contain. Some are made of solid brick, standing as manifestations of our urge for control. Others, like the iron cages that confine, represent a more severe form of containment. But are they truly different? Perhaps the boundary between these spheres is not as clear as we believe.

• Expression takes on a unconventional form, limited to the edges that separate our path. It's a world where imagination grows wild within the limitations of what's allowed.

Within these edges, a different kind of charm emerges. It's a reality where perfection is prized, and every element is meticulously positioned.
