I was going to have a show at a semi-white cube space which was too cold for me at the time. I decided to make my own fireplace for the gallery and i made it like a burned cake that celebrates itself. Then i added a radiator, three windows, a wall also a piece of handrail. Radiator always seems to me like a very strong object, it would be something that got hurt for long time and survived a world war. At the same time it is like a pet that u can play with and get warm also it can be dangerous whenever it wants. All three windows are same  but with  three different titles. I was thinking about some places in the world that people experience long time nights for months. How many hours you should wait for a man behind a dark window to come back home. When you put a brick on top of another you already made a wall, the wall itself comes before the idea of making something with bricks. I just thinking about a wall with the mind of a wealthy cave man mixed up with the imagination of a sport clothing designer. The handrails are beautiful enough to be hanged. They are for supporting and protecting. They keep secrets. The handrail is not a psycho like the microwave, It cares. So I don't afraid of being romantic or delusional, it works sometimes. If it doesn't you can make it up with fresh caviar.
