concept

Addressing the relationship between what occurs naturally and what is artificially produced. The struggle between what is natural and what is man-made is highlighted through the production process: In Wai employed a machine (technology), used traditional craftsmanship (humanity) and applied processes that involved a natural environment (nature). The relationship between time, space and the body was also explored.
