Skilled hands create a model stage. Various aspects of life in a mini jewelry box!

Canadian artist Curtis Talwst Santiago has created various life scenes in old ring boxes. The opened ring box is like a life that cannot be returned and cannot be relived.

Now, Santiago still continues to create, but he is more mature and sophisticated. In his Infinity Series series of works, Santiago added elements of rural and social disasters. The "platform" of creation also extended to antique jewelry boxes. These ring boxes or jewelry boxes were transformed by him into specific scenes, performed by mini model characters. With various aspects of life, and even adding water in the box to act as a seascape, the difficulty has been upgraded than before.

In the work "Deluge", a boat full of refugees struggles to sail forward amidst the dangerous walrus; and in the work "Por que?", the violent scene of the police beating the suspect is tantamount to time. The dark social news you have heard is moved into a purple velvet box.

Santiago packs a story, a social phenomenon, and a reflection into a small box, which invisibly makes each palm-sized box more weighty.
