Rolling Harvest

is an installation that contrasts the worlds of rural life and modern luxury through the form of a 5-meter-long wooden limousine. Constructed with wire mesh windows and filled with hay, it evokes both a rustic hen house and a luxurious vehicle. The hay inside symbolizes the agricultural roots, while the shape and scale of the limousine call to mind a symbol of opulence.

The title, Rolling Harvest, is a metaphor for the tension between these two worlds. The "hen house" connotation reflects the idea of confinement or containment, while the "limousine" evokes the luxury and freedom often associated with wealth, particularly the image of young women transported in such vehicles. This contrast highlights how societal expectations, roles, and luxury can coexist in a space that holds both elegance and restriction.

By juxtaposing the humble, organic world of the farm with the refined luxury of a limousine, Rolling Harvest questions the boundaries between rural tradition and modern symbols of wealth, exploring the metaphorical relationship between freedom, confinement, and societal roles in contemporary culture.
