REACHING ACROSS TIME /

TIME / There is nothing at this present. Things that we consider at present immediately become a part of the past. Thus, the way that we notice objects or emotion in “time� is always on the vestige of changing.

CRYSTALLIZATION / is a process of material formation from liquid to the structured solid crystals. This process represents not only how the crystals catch up the present time but also how the material turns into the solid containing the past from the liquid status. And the solid seems reaching the time in permanent.

We select urea as a main medium after an experiment comparing salt, alum, and urea. Setting the different curved linear structure in our final work shows the unexpected and unmanageable process of crystallization in the regular precise man-made installation.

Through the crystallization of urea in the arranged structure, you can follow the vestige of movement and see the spectrum of moments in the past.
