As the artists states: « My sculpture is in a deliberate state of incompletion. Rodin’s marcottage is replaced by a way to move forward by connecting the present and the past. I collect discarded and broken pieces, recombine them with my other pieces and combine them into one piece. Through this process, the harmony of sculpture deviates from the dichotomy and shows an attitude of inclusion. At the same time, it repeats an intentional incomplete condition and continues to exist as a material for various experiments. »
