15. Minimalism Humor

In Spoons Taking the Stairs, everyday objects get tired too. Three bent spoons wobble their way up a row of chunky yellow steps, each one more confused than the last. The blocks balance just well enough to make you nervous, while the spoons lean and twist like they're second-guessing the whole idea.

With a few bright shapes and a lot of stubbornness, the sculpture turns an ordinary climb into a slow, clumsy parade of effort, hesitation, and accidental comedy. Minimal materials, maximum struggle.
