The sculptor Elias Sime creates wall-based artworks out of reclaimed wires and other discarded electrical components, weaving them into large, colorful compositions. The “tightrope” in the title refers to the wavering balance between technological advances and the impact they have had on our humanity and environment.

The artist thinks of his work as reflecting this tension: “As technology connects people virtually and physically from one end of the world to the other, unfiltered and sensational speeches are spread creating confusion and doubting the truth. Each one of the Tightrope: ECHO!? is about what I am witnessing now [. . .] The basic idea is how humans are easily manipulated by individuals and rush for conclusions that they often regret when the truth begins to surface,” he has explained.
