"Cards Castle" combines the façade of the Hungarian Parliament with a fragile house of Hungarian playing cards. The monumental architecture and the precarious structure stand in deliberate contrast, reflecting how institutions that appear solid may ultimately depend on fragile foundations. Like a house of cards, stability endures only while every supporting element remains in place.
