Fools Fortress

In the captivating sculpture titled "Fool's Fortress," we encounter a striking interplay between folly and confinement. At the top, a whimsical structure fashioned from wood resembles a cross between a crown and a jester’s hat, symbolizing the inflated ego and the misguided pride that often accompany ignorance. Just below, the lower portion takes on the form of a prison, representing the self-imposed limitations that arise when one stubbornly refuses to change their mind. Together, these elements craft a visual narrative that invites us to reflect on how our own foolishness can create barriers to growth and understanding. In this piece, we are reminded that the real challenge lies not only in recognizing our own folly but also in daring to break free from the fortress we’ve built around our beliefs.
