Concrete and Cages
The world is a complicated place, filled with installations that both enclose. Some are made of hard steel, standing as symbols of our desire for security. Others, like the iron cages that confine, represent a more harsh form of limitation. But are they truly different? Perhaps the demarcation between these worlds is not as clear as we think.
- Questions arise about the nature of autonomy when confronted with such imposing structures.
- Can the comfort provided by these barriers truly outweigh the loss of our own agency?

Walls That Hold More Than Brick
Our limitations are often built of more than just mortar. They can be forged from insecurity, strengthened by past experiences, and sometimes adorned with symbols that reflect who we believe ourselves to be.

- Guidelines shape our every move, a deliberately designed system that leads us through the moments.
- Innovation takes on a novel form, restricted to the lines that outline our course. It's a world where fantasy grows wild within the limitations of what's permitted.
Inside these edges, a different kind of charm emerges. It's a world where perfection is prized, and every detail is deliberately placed.
