In creating this artwork, I chose the `destruct to create’ approach.
I removed a surface to create a shape, something new and different. The idea here is to connect with something that we pay little attention to. I pick subjects such as second-hand objects and elderly people to visualise this idea. The elderly represent our roots that have now been forgotten. Here buildings are chosen to symbolise modernity. I feel that in riding the wave of modernity we often lose sight of our heritage.
