My 'natural sculpture' create a new, more harmonious, relationship between man and nature by exploring what it means to design with nature in mind. The shape is simple, humble. The idea that sculpture should shelter nature. I am interested in the idea of the scale of the body. Body is like information, mediator, while sculpture - place for the body, place for "survival". Sculpture becomes means of communication involving the beholder as part of it. Such a desire to communicate and interact with both, surrounding space in nature and the audience will shape the future direction of my art.
