Otto Scholderer created this simple pencil drawing entitled ‘Mill Game.’ Mill, also known as Nine Men’s Morris, is an ancient strategy board game for two players, dating back to the Roman Empire. It's a game of alignment and capture, reflecting broader social dynamics and the ways we navigate power structures. The game embodies the tension between individual agency and systemic constraint; players strategically place and move pieces, but they operate within a pre-defined structure. The game reflects how we build our identities and make our moves within the confines of societal expectations. The simplicity of ‘Mill Game’ invites reflection on our own strategies, our own places within the game of life. How do we align ourselves, capture opportunities, and navigate the board? How do we challenge or subvert the rules?
