Concrete and Cages

The world is a chaotic place, filled with edifices that both contain. Some are made of hard brick, standing as representations of our need for control. Others, like the iron cages that confine, represent a more restrictive form of limitation. But are they truly different? Perhaps the boundary between these worlds is not as clear as we think.

Walls That Hold More Than Brick

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