This artwork questions the conventional notion of an “open mind.” It suggests that an open mind, as typically understood, is inherently limited—and proposes instead the idea of a “doorless mind.” The concept takes shape through a door with a narrow beam showing how much it’s “open,” yet this beam becomes a barrier to new perspectives.

Here, the “mind-door” is represented within a head, with light symbolising fresh or alternative ideas. As light attempts to pass through the “mind-door,” it creates a shadow, a symbol of the obstruction that hinders open thinking. Through this visual metaphor, the piece challenges viewers to rethink the idea of openness, imagining instead a mind with no barriers at all—a doorless mind fully receptive to new and different ideas.
