Modern art gallery at home 3

My project is to decorate my home in the style of a modern art gallery.
To see the progress, I invite you to read the two previous posts:

Let me remind you of the context:
Following a separation, I kept the apartment, but practically all the decor left with my partner. All I had left were holes in the walls, which isn't very good for my morale.
Since I'm not sure I'll stay here, I don't want to invest too much in the decor, so I decided to convert the space into a temporary gallery of what I consider modern art.
The objects used are salvaged and repurposed from their original function. The cost for this project must be zero; I don't buy anything.
It makes me feel good to express my creativity and emotions in this work, hence my interpretations.

So here is the third step, which highlights the shape of the square oriented like a diamond that emerges from the two previous steps.
Rotating a square 45° to transform it into a diamond makes a lot of sense to me.
A square on its base is a sign of stability; when you rotate it on its tip, it becomes precariously balanced; it's almost an intermediate phase before a new 45° rotation that would allow it to regain its stability.
But this square on its tip, while losing stability, gains dynamism, just as change is dynamic; a force is at work here, and the 90° angles are thrust vectors.
A thrust that I hope won't be downward for me, nor backward; I aim forward, and perhaps upward if I can manage it.
This is an example of my self-therapy through artistic creation.

To return to more material things, the mirror with a black frame in my entrance hall is one of the few things I had left, so I naturally rotated it 45° so that it would be in the same diamond theme as my wall frieze.

Another wall in my entryway had a large coat rack that also served as a bench. When it was gone, I had three holes left. I covered them with two pieces of cardboard, one solid and the other drilled, similar to my first ones, in a diamond-shaped orientation, of course.

On a large wall in my living room, there was a beautiful poster that has since disappeared. Since it's in line with my entryway, I also installed a square there, oriented in a diamond shape; it's a garden furniture cushion.

I think I'll stop there with the diamonds; my other installations will focus more on the object itself, and how its transformation or display gives it a new meaning that can engage the viewer or visitor.

By viewing the images I uploaded, I realize that I have made a small spoiler of my next article, it is not a big deal.
