Brick and Cages

The world is a chaotic place, filled with structures that both protect. Some are made of solid concrete, standing as representations of our urge for order. Others, like the metal 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 unique form, limited to the borders that separate our journey. It's a sphere where imagination flows wild within the constraints of what's deemed acceptable.

Inside these edges, a different kind of wonder emerges. It's a world where perfection is prized, and every element is deliberately positioned.
