Trojan house

The Trojan Horse is a story from the Trojan War about the subterfuge that the Greeks used to enter the independent city of Troy and win the war. In the canonical version, after a fruitless 10-year siege, the Greeks constructed a huge wooden horse, and hid a select force of men inside including Odysseus. The Greeks pretended to sail away, and the Trojans pulled the horse into their city as a victory trophy. That night the Greek force crept out of the horse and opened the gates for the rest of the Greek army, which had sailed back under cover of night. The Greeks entered and destroyed the city of Troy, ending the war.

It is used metaphorically to mean any trick or strategy that causes a target to invite a foe into a securely protected place; or to deceive by appearance, hiding malevolent intent in an outwardly benign exterior; to subvert from within using deceptive means.

This came out from a single thought of life itself being completely deceptive. The daily circle of life represented by miniature figures who live inside the ruins and will not move further from the spot they are glued to provokes discomfort in me, which receives more strengthened visually by placing the heavy piece on few wires as construction.

The idea of life barely holds that deception.

The size of the figures adds to the size of the ruin - fragment of an actual horse figure I was working on two years ago.

It is about 50 centimeters tall, 40 long and 25 wide.
