A friend introduced me to this artist. I have mixed feeling about this as well as his other work. None of these feelings are negative. It’s a strange attraction… on one side it seems like a waste of time, but on the other hand I also find it fascinating. Fascinating to ‘man’ trying to be a part of something so big. Like this river. Like the umbrella project. I am both intrigued and amused by the magnitude of the projects and the fact that we are still so small compared with nature (read creation).
