About work

“This installation deals with simple symbols of mountains, the sun and stars as represented by a paper cone, polystyrene ball and spatial star. I combined these elements in accordance with predefined rules into 686 shapes. Each shape is made up of eight elements and always represents a unique ‘landscape’ comprising mountains, the sun and stars.”
