"It happens in a blink of an eye.
Small cracks appear the moment I put down the spray can after finishing painting.
These cracks are connected to other small cracks and together it become big cracks.
They all connect to each other and then form a geometric pattern.
Deterioration, which requires some decades under normal condition, occurs in a moment here.
This condensed time creates a geometric structure, an artwork."
