​

At the Gate features a meticulous crafting process, giving a new life to an outdated encyclopedia and a defunct iron.

​

With a pre-existing structure and a

multi-layered nature, these objects provide me with a unique medium. The pages of the encyclopedia are dissected to create an empty space to place the core piece of the antique iron. The delicate pages of the encyclopedia surround the iron, giving the inanimate objects an illusion of interaction and a new artistic purpose.
