In case of peace

In case of peace

This conceptual installation subverts the visual language of emergency devices: the pristine white case with red typography and the isolated hammer turn the directive “IN CASE OF PEACE — BREAK GLASS” into a sharp paradox about humanity’s impulse toward aggression. The restrained palette and high-key lighting create a sterile, institutional mood, while the generous negative space heightens the psychological tension between instruction and action. Formally, the composition is balanced and precise; the clean fabrication and crisp photographic presentation underscore the work’s authority. Conceptually, the piece is incisive—the implied viewer participation makes the satire uncomfortably real, revealing how systems can codify violence even under the guise of safety. This economy of means paired with a potent idea makes the work memorable and thought-provoking.
