AS TIME PASSES

In the center of each leaf, a circle is painted in colors identical to that's leaf original color, or alternately a circle is clipped out. The outcomes of these actions don't change, this is a metaphor that we can not separate ourselves from the assumption that our creative acts preserve the present condition. It is assumed that the purpose of man made objects, is not to 'change' but to be permanent. It is an important factor to secure the every-day life of human beings. On the other hand, things outside of artificial time and control, always change in color and matter. The leaves turn drown as time passes. The time streams of art and nature coexist and relate through the contrast of color.
