Brick and Bars

The world is a complicated place, filled with installations that both protect. Some are made of hard brick, standing as manifestations of our urge for control. Others, like the metal cages that imprison, represent a more severe form of limitation. But are they truly different? Perhaps the line between these domains is not as clear as we believe.

Inside these lines, a unique kind of beauty emerges. It's a world where precision is prized, and every detail is meticulously arranged.
