"What I intended in this piece is to demonstrate walls that are strong yet flexible. Lego blocks were used like bricks to create my own walls or protective barriers, but I wanted to express how readily destructible the walls could be. From that idea, I stacked Lego blocks like Tetris pieces and wanted to show that at the moment of the pieces fitting together, everything could collapse. It implies not only our psychological walls but also all types of trial and error that we experience."
_JeeYoung LEE


"Je souhaitais créer ici des murs à la fois robustes et néanmoins flexibles. Chacun des blocs de LEGO utilisés symbolise les murs que je dresse en moi pour mieux me protéger. Ceux-ci paraissent solidement bâtis et pourtant, ils peuvent être aisément démolis. En partant de ce principe, j'ai empilé ces blocks tels des pièces de Tétris en voulant mettre en avant le fait qu'au moment même de la construction, tout peut s'effondrer si l'on ne parvient pas à associer les pièces convenablement. Ceci implique non seulement nos barrières psychologiques, mais aussi toutes sortes de tentatives et d'erreurs que nous pouvons commettre."
_JeeYoung LEE
