I have been exploring packaging materials in a whole variety of ways for several years now, as well as examining the interior and exterior qualities of various forms of packaging, intent on delving deeper into the questions of artificiality and naturalness.

The plastic shells create their own individual installation in the context of a different room and different story. Altered room compositions with or without air respectively yield and proffer new ideas/concepts.

The plastic shells become the packaging material of a room, or could it be that the room becomes their form of packaging...
