The Fallen is an ongoing series of works. I collect leaves, twigs, and tree bark while taking my walks. Their organic forms capture my fancy which I try to preserve by casting them in aluminum. It allows me to slow down their deterioration. Ironically, during the process, these delicate objects decay even quicker while emerging into something stronger. This is my way of paying homage to nature.
As it is a collection of materials that is broken from its original space, the arrangement of the artwork is open-ended. This way the viewer/collector is a collaborator with nature and myself when they arrange the composition of the artwork.
