Rebirth of Piranesi ‘sLegend Carceri d’invenzione was a series of drawing by Piraneis in mid 18th century. Starting from his own drawing, I followed his composition logic to create my version of dark Prison. The interacting wood bridges and numbers of stone arches suggest the darkness and endlessness of this imaginary place.
