SYNTHESIS - Paper-Maché Sculptures, 2019 "Synthesis" embodies the contrast of two dimensions of existence: urban congestion and nature as a primary source of inspiration. The sculpture simultaneously represents a confrontation and a unity between urbanism and natural elements, with grey concrete surrounded by otherworldly plants and moss. It is a universe of struggle and coexistence, of concrete and nature, of emptiness and fullness, of senses and reason, of unity and diversity, of yin and yang.
