"Wax is a very interesting material. The first installation I made was like an exercise to understand the material. It was like mottling. In the second work," Unused Swords ", I think I had a better idea. 'Swords', that is, aggression, competition and, most importantly, power. 'Unused swords' can not move, they can not perform their function, they are equal and they will remain motionless for me."
