Description: A figure with an exaggerated posture stands atop a tall column. Yet the base beneath it is made of chain, bark, and stone—symbols of instability, weight, and deceptive strength. The title *The Deception of Height* critiques the illusion of standing tall while lacking true foundation or self-awareness.
