Unending Closure

The events that have unfolded since the turn of the century, in addition to the unending technological parade of innovation, and the bloating of Media influence over the world has yielded not a people that enjoy Sunday afternoon picnics on the moon, but a paranoid-delusional society, in constant fear of its own shadow. Using robotics as the primary medium, "Unending Closure" is a response to this accelerated social-trend. Being inherently driven by a sense of curiosity and exploration, the robots that exist in these wooden columns live in a constant state of suspicion and fear, attempting to "see" what is outside, yet drawing back at the earliest guise of danger.
