This work originates from the artist’s short text about Condensed Energy, a character living in an eleven-folded space who discovers Dragon, a legendary being who is knowledgeable about all dimensional landscapes. The artist becomes fascinated with primitive energy-filled objects it encounters while exploring the “trivial world” (third dimension). The garbage that humans release into the sky represents both the former utilities of industrial society as well as another name for all matter—a poetic glimpse of our trivial world.
