Unlike so-called immobile sculptures cast in marble or metal, these sculptures retain their geometric patterns and continue to change their forms. The strength of the magnetic force, the height of the protrusions, the speed of their ascent and descent, and the direction of their rotation are all controlled by a computer program, and by designing a balance between gravity and magnetic force, the sculpture changes the pattern and rhythm of its form. Numerous sharp water spikes, raised like cacti or sea urchins, are born and disappear around the metal cone by the invisible forces of nature. The coexistence of violent images of spines and soft images of liquids in this work makes us think philosophically about how the world is a phenomenon, while at the same time foreshadowing a magical future beyond the highly developed scientific rationality of the present day.
