It’s possible to restore natural forms by adopting geometrical principles where time and form may be perfectly expressed through such representation. Isolating the unit from the natural world of visual experience,and use the physical qualities of the material to render it, as a result, the unit would not only be independent of the world around it, but also exists independently from the main subject.


Imagine the architecture as an organic entity. For example, in the   course of the healing process of a tree that had been crashed into and branches broken off,new organism would grow around the wounded surface, and eventually grow into a knot. My works are like the mutated structures in post-traumatic situations.They have the same properties as the other trees, but grown in two completely different modes. These protruding masses with the texture of the wood, the tangible pricks, are the scars of architecture; comparable to the parasite on the epidermis of the building, they penetrating on the wall and becomes one of its organic components. Color is its skin.
