Plato's Cave: according to the allegory from Plato's Republic, prisoners are chained in such a way that all they can see are shadows on the opposing wall. Their reality is entirely defined by the shadow of the objects, they have no knowledge of the object casting the shadow. Appearance and reality are placed into question. Here the prisoner believes himself to be relieved from his fixed position (but only on Thursdays), in truth he is now one of the sources of the shadow theatre. Hand painted with airbrush on acrylic glass and set into a steel frame shadow sculpture with thread.

Product Safety & Compliance Information

Legal Notice & Artistic Nature

This is an original, handmade work of art, produced in a
limited series and intended for collectors and decorative display purposes
only. In the interest of full transparency and the safety of our collectors, we
provide the following information regarding the correct handling and
preservation of the artwork.

Intended Use & Environment

  • Indoor
    use only. This sculpture is designed exclusively for indoor decorative
    display. Exposure to outdoor conditions — including rain, moisture, frost,
    or high humidity — will cause corrosion of the metal components and
    degradation of the acrylic elements.
  • Not
    a toy. This is a professional artwork and is not intended for children.
    Please keep it out of reach of children and pets at all times.

Material Hazards & Handling

  • Metal
    components may include intentional sharp edges, points, or delicate
    structural details inherent to the artistic design. Handle with care
    during unboxing and placement to avoid injury or damage to the piece.
  • Acrylic
    elements should not be subjected to excessive pressure or impact, as they
    may crack or detach from the metal frame.
  • Stability:
    Place the sculpture on a flat, stable, and sturdy surface capable of
    supporting its weight. Avoid high-traffic areas where it could be
    accidentally knocked over.

Maintenance & Care

  • Cleaning:
    Use only a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Never use alcohol, chemical
    solvents, or abrasive products — these will permanently cloud, scratch, or
    crack the acrylic surface.
  • Heat
    & light: Keep away from open flames, candles, and direct high-heat
    sources. Prolonged exposure to intense heat or direct sunlight may warp or
    discolour the acrylic components.
