In Front Of My Home

​Crafted by hand from walnut wood and gold leaf, this work explores the tension between material beauty and underlying meaning. At first glance, the shimmering surface and rich wood grain captivate with elegance and refinement. Only through prolonged observation does the word arrogance reveal itself—subtly embedded in form and texture. This delayed recognition provokes reflection on appearances, power, and concealed intentions. The contradiction between the noble materials and the weight of the word offers a quiet critique: how easily beauty can obscure truth, and how arrogance often hides behind a polished façade.
