León Ferrari — Jaula
León Ferrari

Jaula

2004

A metal cage, stark and industrial in its construction, stands as both object and metaphor in León Ferrari's *Jaula*. The work embodies the Argentine artist's lifelong preoccupation with systems of control, confinement, and institutional power, inviting the viewer to contemplate who — or what — is imprisoned within its rigid geometry. Simple yet unsettling, the piece transforms an everyday structure into a potent symbol of political and social repression.
