The facades of the building are gradually mottled, faster and faster with the passing of time. Meanwhile, the walking passages also change the way of how we perceive our living space – while we walk within the space, we fail to measure the geographical distance.

The structure which is repeated without consciousness has demonstrated the most natural and the most primitive images of the inhabitants. They look calm and quiet. The number keeps changing on the digital board, signifying the passing of time.

Between the optimistic and the pessimistic, the artist captures the conflicting essence of life.
