A series about an old barn as a metaphor for the inner vessel. The fear of looking inside reflects our hesitation to face our own shadows. Here, curiosity and unease intertwine in anticipation of revelation.

An old barn becomes a vessel—not only of material remnants but of inner states. Its dark volume holds a secret, and the fear of looking inside mirrors the hesitation to confront one’s own depths. It is an observation from the outside, where curiosity collides with unease: what happens if the doors are opened?
This series turns architecture into a metaphor of self-exploration. The barn is both memory and fear, desire and prohibition. To look into it is to risk facing unknown feelings and the shadows within oneself.
