Where ancient mythology meets modernist rigor in a vertical labyrinth of light and shadow, Asterion at the Bauhaus: Study 1 offers a singular, one-of-a-kind rarity from our studio. With this conceptual work, we wanted to ask a playful, highly specific question: What would the mythic Minotaur—Asterion—have created if he had enrolled as a student at the Bauhaus? The result is our version of a "vertical labyrinth"—a sophisticated mixed-media sculpture that reimagines the classical idea of confinement as a study of clean, geometric clarity. It stands as a striking, contemplative centerpiece where the weight of Greek myth meets the sleek, industrial soul of early 20th-century design (even monsters have the right to appreciate architecture).

We designed this sculpture to act as a living blueprint, transforming the wall into a space of architectural mystery. By using layered acrylic panels, we built a physical sense of depth that mimics the corridors of a labyrinth. The combination of polished stainless steel bars and hand-painted acrylic allows the piece to catch and refract ambient light, revealing hidden passages and fine textures as you move around it. When caught by natural sun or a targeted spotlight, our hand-welded framework projects a crisp, structural silhouette, turning the concept of a tower into a three-dimensional shadow-play on your wall.

The craftsmanship behind this piece highlights a rigorous, manual collision of classical draftsmanship and modern engineering in our Granada studio. We painted each individual panel by hand using an airbrush and traditional Indian ink to achieve a textured, atmospheric depth. The labyrinth is housed within a high-precision framework of steel and stainless steel bars that we TIG and MIG welded and hand-polished to a raw, architectural finish. As explicitly indicated in the provenance, this unique 1-of-1 original includes its specialized certificate of authenticity.
