My static performance is better than your planned motion

“My static performance is better than your planned movement” __ This series of works is a synthesis of elegant and at the same time the sharp and threatening forms created from the iron curtain. Nothing is permanent, complete, perfect. This idea is based on the Japanese concept of “Wabi-Sabi”, which calls for the breakdown of the cracker, the suppressor, and the surveillance, instead of getting rid of it and turning it off. I often refer to the principle of “Wabi-Sabi” in my works like in this particular work.
