«There is a way out»
Stepanova Ekaterina Aleksandrovna
The work reflects the problem of domestic violence. A person always has the opportunity to get out of emotional hell, by his own efforts or with help. You just need to break these walls. From the concrete massif full of tears and pain, through the light and out. The image of an ancient Russian window frame shows the durability of this problem, how it could have arisen. The roof is peeling, there are tears on the side parts
The object can be used as a sculpture or a night light with a small lighting radius
Target audience: wide, families and people in relationships

Material: plywood, putty (white), colorant (black), sealing wax (black and red), construction glue, papier-mâché mass (egg cups, glue), paper napkins, PVA glue, white acrylic paint
Tools: jigsaw, wood knife, candle, blender, brush, battery-powered LED strip




The «inner» house is made by hand using ready-made construction, carpentry and other elements. The «outer» house uses papier-mâché, painting and addition of ready-made electrics
6 forms were cut out of a piece of plywood, 2 for each side of the «inner» house. Then, a mixture of putty and black paint was applied to each part. The roof is textured, and the rest are scraped out with teardrop shapes and windows. After complete drying, these cavities were filled with heated sealing wax. Then the wooden parts were glued together and finished with the same putty
For the «outer» house, 6 forms were cut out of thick cardboard, 2 on each side. Holes of the required shape were cut into them. Afterwards, these parts were covered with papier-mâché. The dried parts were connected, the holes were sealed with the same mass and napkins with glue. When the assembled house dried, it was covered with paint. Then the light was laid on the inner part. The box with batteries was hidden under the «inner» house and secured. The wire, with the help of a pre-cut hole, does not interfere with the even placement of the house. Now both parts are connected together, but have the ability to separate
