Brick and Cages
The world is a messy place, filled with edifices that both enclose. Some are made of solid steel, standing as symbols of our urge for control. Others, like the barred cages that imprison, represent a more severe form of discipline. But are they truly different? Perhaps the boundary between these domains is not as clear as we believe.
