I interpret the mental shaping of the body’s interaction with the world as “experimental movement created by the inherent content of objects, rather than a mere replication of material.” Objects, with their entirely natural content, allow me to witness their evolving changes over time. At their core, life, cycles, and repetitions create a rhythm that interweaves like music. I facilitate the return of created objects to nature, enabling them to form new rhythms. In this way, I incorporate the variability inherent in life into the process, making the transformation of a new object in nature a part of that process.
“While nothing is static, why do we expect objects to be?” This thought is continuously evolving through the fragments of visuals I have captured, representing an ongoing, dynamic phenomenon of creation with new layers forming as objects merge with nature. The meaning created by objects in the visuals is something to be explored; if we understand how to engage with it, we can delve into its multi-layered and dynamic nature. Here, unlike the permanence of visuals, objects are part of a process that transforms through living organism activities.
By emphasizing the role of objects within the continuous transformation of nature’s rhythm, I aim to draw attention to humanity's stance within this rhythm. I invite reflection on humanity's impact on the environment and our complex relationship with nature.

"Human life is a process that involves the passage of time," accumulating, compressing, and sometimes losing the effects of deep time, much like the multi-layered structure of a place—reminiscent of geological forces. This non-linear dynamic system, while fundamentally different from our internal world in its details, mirrors how stones "settle" and "accumulate." The multi-layered structure of sediments is rhythmically manipulated on the surface of objects. Layers transition from their dialogue with the object to their relationship with the ground. In the process of dissolution, when the object reaches a sufficient time interval, it gains its sense of belonging to the earth.

Nature is a stage that can present unexpected emotional transformations at any moment. On this stage, materials and textures transcend their ordinary states to acquire new meanings and forms. Each interaction with nature brings us face-to-face with elements hidden deep within our consciousness, often unnoticed. This encounter is a rediscovery of the essence of the materials and textures nature offers.
Nature whispers its transformation process to us.
The rough surface of a stone, the bark of a tree, or the veins of a leaf are not just physical objects to me but also representations of nature's creative power and infinite cycles. These transformations evolve from textures into objects. Each object is a part of nature's evolutionary process. Just as nature holds its own secrets and limits, the natural component of the material provides strange yet fascinating clues about how it can change and transform.
The textures of objects allow us to understand this transformation in nature, revealing its multifaceted and complex structures. With every glance and every touch, the creative power of nature and the creations of its endless cycle evoke excitement. This cycle reminds us that nature is continually renewing itself and is in a constant state of flux.

Nature is strange; its sensations change momentarily, evoking entirely different feelings. When you unexpectedly transition into material and texture without conscious awareness, it allows you to rediscover the essence of what you had previously overlooked. The material transformed into texture, and texture into an object. The material provided strange hints about how it could evolve in nature and compelled me to look at it repeatedly.
Listening to what Rafael Moneo calls the “whisper of the place” led me to design the objects I create in a way that I know belongs to the place.
The material evolved from texture to object, and the object returned to its place. Essentially, the goal was to create the object with a value belonging to the "place," transforming that place into a better "thing."
Material, texture, texture to object, object to place, soil, plant… The Tersakan Lake, with its softness and fluidity, draws you in like the color transitions in a Rothko painting.
Each step, each touch transports you to a different time. The cracks in the dry lake bed are not like the fine lines on the surface but are deep memories.
Time operates differently here; each crack represents a time period, and each softness evokes a past. Each crack and each soft texture represents the unique rhythm of nature.
“Field trip, Tersakan Lake. The surface shows deep cracks and a dry appearance. The softness I felt upon touching it was like a gooey clay... The place draws you in; like a Rothko painting, you find yourself wandering within it. Soft, gooey, fluid...”

What might a dried leaf reveal about the tree? What does it say about its depths, and what does it access within those depths? It is conceivable that the leaf was shed directly or perhaps torn off. Like other leaves, I agreed to gather a few pieces that had bent and fallen.
​
The dried leaf is crooked, intermittent, easily scattered, and delicate. Sometimes it remains on the tree branch, and sometimes it falls and lands in our hands.
Dried leaves, whether hanging on the branch or fallen to the ground, remind us of nature's ever-changing cycle. While they are still attached to the branch, they retain the vitality of being part of a whole. When they fall to the ground, they become independent entities.​
The wrinkles and irregularities on the surface of the leaf symbolize the vibrancy and continuity of life. The experimental process with biomaterials should also be perceived as part of nature, reflecting its variable nature over time. Observing the object is similar to observing the evolutionary process of dried leaves.
​
In the material, the wrinkling, bending, and cracking of different surfaces and layers over time demonstrate how freely natural processes evolve. While humanity’s attempt to control nature aims to limit rather than release this ambiguity, it shows that the accidental aspects emerging from this effort reflect the essence of reality as part of the cycle of life.

​"The essence of the leaf's natural cycle is hidden in the free spirit of nature; we should release it rather than confine it with our boundaries."

Understanding the memory of the landscape and the texture of a place requires connecting not only with its visible surface but also with the layers beneath. Since ancient times, the earth has served as both a physical and spiritual foundation for cultures, carrying the traces of life and becoming an archive of the relationship between humans and nature. This stratification is not only a geological structure but also a cultural and mythological depth.
The impressions evoked by textures suddenly influence objects, reflecting the texture of a place in both physical and metaphorical senses. Exploring the memory, texture, and layers of a place allows us to recall what has been lost or is at risk of disappearing, deepening our understanding of the present through this connection with the past, and leaving a meaningful trace for the future...
