This composition is a temporary combination of three different works. The shape of the objects predetermined the ability to be combined with the wooden support structure that originally had a different function.

In the work, motifs of the object culture of my childhood can be discovered. A half-cut dinosaur, a negative imprint of the face of a Japanese cartoon character, a plaster flame, or a plaster extract of an amorphous toy part –unexpectedly modified pieces left out from previous works.
