This house was constructed by a ten-year-old boy living at Renaissance Village. He built it out of heavy cardboard, masking tape, paper, paint and glue. The inside corners of the house were secured with a foundation of clay, and the house is coated in glitter glue. He created this house as a safe structure for the black pipe cleaner ant that can be seen inside. This boy's family was stranded with sixty other people on a bayou for two days after their homes were destroyed while helicopters and boats passed them by. In his art, you can see the representation of his insignificance in the ant, and his desire for safety in the elaborate structure he has built around it.
