The structure adopts a form associated with play, patience, and informal skill. A house of cards implies balance achieved through repetition, touch, and time.

Here, that logic is preserved, but its material conditions are reversed. Each element carries the potential for injury. Assembly becomes an act of exposure rather than control.

The work is not conceived despite this risk, but through it. The process of construction requires the same gestures as the harmless version, stacking, aligning, trusting, while withdrawing the promise of safety usually embedded in those movements.

Stability is achieved, but only temporarily and at a cost. What holds the structure together is not strength, but restraint. It is a continuous negotiation between precision and harm.

The work proposes fragility not as a visual metaphor, but as a lived condition of making. What stands does so because nothing has yet gone wrong.
