The Boundaries, 2026
Description :
The Boundaries merges the structural form of a bracket with the familiar outline of an umbrella to explore the idea of boundaries as spaces of protection rather than restriction. Made in steel and placed within a public setting, the work embodies both shelter and structure, drawing attention to the balance between freedom and limitation in everyday life. The umbrella, a tool that shields against unpredictable conditions, becomes a metaphor for the necessary frameworks that support and sustain us. By positioning local workers within the space defined by the sculpture, the work situates boundaries within systems of labor, care, and coexistence, suggesting that structure and discipline can create room for resilience and meaning rather than constraint.
