이 작품은 다양한 크기의 점토 덩어리들로 구성되었다. 이 점토 덩어리들은 재난을 당하여 파괴된 채로 방치된 고대 사원 또는 조각상의 파편들을 상기시킨다. 나는 이처럼 방치된 파편들을 활용하여 새로운 작품으로 만들었다. 과거에 뿌리를 두면서 내 자신의 현대적 관점을 담은 작품을 보여주고자 하였다.

My work is composed of large masses varying in size. These recall the remains of ancient temples or pieces of statuary following disasters, abandoned in surroundings. Ι build anew these unutilized fragments into a unified composition. My intention is to create work rooted in the past, but having my own contemporary view.
