His minimal work includes series such as From the Archetype, Infinity, A Meaningful Sphere, Variation and ARCHIE-POT Series. The artist explores different permutations on a single form. He calls these “limitless variations.” The artist states:
“I work from a sphere to produce thin layers of bowl shaped elements with different diameters and heights.
“If these layers are placed one by one, small and big bowls can form an installation piece.
“For me, the meaning of ‘Units as Sphere’is a archetype that can be cut and shaped in various ways.”
