Playground of Self-Made Traps

Playground of Self-Made Traps continues the artist’s previous works, Cage Structures and Self-Made Traps, subtly exploring the tension between expectations and reality in a playful manner. The work combines classic playground elements with cage-like forms, building a complex structure that evokes the theme of inner freedom and self-imposed limits, while inviting introspection.

Constructed of wood, mesh and string, the installation combines fixed and mobile elements that provoke a tactile attraction, encouraging the audience to actively engage. At first glance, Playground of Self-made Traps evokes the nostalgia of a childhood playground, but a closer look reveals the complexity of the work. This structure goes beyond the function of a conventional playground, transforming into a symbolic representation of mental architectures.

Playground of Self-Made Traps challenges conformity to predetermined roles and embodies a paradoxical freedom – an invitation to reexamine how we perceive space and its function. The structure highlights the tension between rules and freedom, the familiar and the unknown, transforming itself into a symbolic framework for rediscovery and transgression. Visitors are encouraged to move freely, follow their impulses and find new ways of interacting with the work, thus exploring the limits imposed by both the self and the social context. The work constitutes a metaphor for social constructions, preconceived ideas and inner freedoms.
