Original artwork description:

This is a work from the Topographies series made during my stay at Kebbel Villa, Schwandorf, Germany.

Topographies is about the relationship between nature and man. It tries to investigate how people have adapted their life, activity, homes and community to the features of the terrain that result from hundreds of thousands formation years. There is nothing casual in a terrain. Every single curve, slope, form has been shaped gradually by the natural forces. And the people are forced to conform to these features while simultaneously trying to change or overcome them, thus performing an interesting and never ending game, resulting in continuous changes in the topographical picture.
