The artist allows visitors to experience the scenery of narrow alleys and stores they have experienced over the years in the exhibition hall. By reproducing stores created only for the efficiency of merchants all day long in narrow alleys and their walls, we talk about the impact and importance of the scenery and view that humans see every day.

One thing that is clear is the fact that the only place to track historical truths is here now. This is the only opportunity and possibility given to us, who are finite beings. The artist thinks in the paradoxical descendants of his ancestors who would have run while staring at the "open" view of the vast field. The descendants live in a "tight" alley less than two or three meters away, forcing the world to lose every moment. Space is the soul of civilization. All civilizations had only differences in degree, and controlled people's visual prospects through spatial compartmentalization. The more prosperous the empire was, the more space was divided. Greece made the square, and Rome made the Colosseum. What monumental spaces have in common is that they push people into prisons with controllable views.
