A Door in Time
With world moving toward complex machinery, robots taking care of the precision work, there is much less left for human to work for. Most of the time we just design with the movements and clicks of our pointing device. But between all this technological advancements there are people, who are unaware of the advancements... There are no computers but only their own brains, there are no robots, but their own hands to create an art which would be matchless, never to be build again.
Watching closely, one can see the wonderful mind and skilled hand of craftsman, along with the history of the art behind it. To many this is just a beautiful door, to few this is an art work, which is preserved in time with centuries of tradition and skill-work attached to it.
