The Luban lock is a representative of traditional Eastern puzzle toys, having evolved over time into a diverse array of styles. "The Cicada Sheds Its Shell – Horseshoe Lock" is one such variation, primarily featuring interconnected horseshoe-shaped locks with a ring threaded through them. The challenge lies in removing the ring without dismantling the structure. We've added the concepts of "shifting perspective" and "liberation" to this act of removal. No matter how complex a maze, there is always a way to solve it. Whether to persist on a dead-end path or explore an alternative route to find an exit, it all hinges on a single thought. This is true for most things; a change in perspective can lead to sudden enlightenment. This concept extends to possessing a broad vision, which prevents one from being confined by frameworks and allows for a more efficient overview. The patterns adorning the horseshoe lock are far from meaningless. Try applying the concepts mentioned above, and you might uncover unexpected discoveries! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53181987206_863094dc8e_c.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53182431690_a3274b8a5a_c.jpg Echoing the name of the horseshoe lock, the backing card depicts an American-style wooden stable and cleverly incorporates a cut-out design to resemble a hook, recreating the appearance of a horseshoe displayed on a wall. ※ Eco-Friendly ※ This product is crafted from scrap material generated from the processing of aerospace-grade metal parts. These scraps are not of inferior quality; they are simply too small to be used for larger components. Typically, these leftover edge pieces from manufacturing are directly recycled and melted down, a process that is highly energy-intensive and environmentally taxing. Therefore, Metal Arts, driven by the concept of environmental sustainability, utilizes these scrap materials in its designs. The original machining marks and perforations are preserved, transforming metal that would otherwise be melted into a unique characteristic of the product, imbued with diverse cultural and creative significance, and given a new life! ● Returns and Exchanges I.
