The Threshold
A structural beam from an old village bridge, its stepped crown and open cavity preserved.
Storytelling
This beam comes from an old village bridge in Kalimantan. The stepped cut at its crown and the open cavity below preserve traces of how it was shaped, joined and weathered. Presented upright, it reads as a quiet record of construction, use and time.
