Chaos
The composition of a Chaos box is conceived as a self-portrait. They are boxes filled with a mass of small wooden sticks attached to each other, looking enormously chaotic. For Quinze, they are the representation of what's going on in the artist's head. A multitude of thoughts and inspiration are protected in this glass box, representative of the artist's own world—everyone tends to stay inside his or her own created private box, no matter how large or small the space they occupy—and yet the box is an expression of life and the artistic blood running through his veins. A surface enclosed by four walls seems to protect individuals from being subjected to impressions and impulses released by other individuals and their environment. In place of freedom, we get the artificial gain of solitude; instead of interaction, we get isolation; in place of striving for reshaping the system, we maintain a redundant society.
