Ephemicropolis – The City of Staples

Patience is a virtue of which I have none. The city of staples or ‘Ephemicropolis’ by artist Peter Root is a perfect example of how one slips into a meditative state of absolute calmness. I can only imagine the precision that went into  breaking down stacks of staples into 12 cm high pieces right down to a single staple.

Just over 40 hours later…voilà, I present Ephemicropolis.
