  • I stand on my hands

    Wood, Resin, Iron

    107.1×100×150 (h)cm
    175×95×215 (h)cm

    The point of this piece is to make people who aren’t good at standing on their hands do it anyway.
    Stretch both your arms up, and stand as if you are holding up the ceiling.
    I added a peephole to take pictures through.
