The absolute is impossible to describe, but it is possible to create an image of it.

Consequently, if the symbol can be interpreted then the image and the space of the artwork in question can only be felt.
It is a closed system of inwardly complete infinite spheres, which is manifested in the artwork by revelation, once and forever.
Each piece of my work has a unique name, which reflects the unexpected nature of its creation.
The ’’name-code’’, consisting of numbers and letters, reconfirms the fact that each piece is a unique entity.
