From the artists statement: “My thinking is this: In an increasingly complex and competitive society sternly ruled by technology and stainless robotic hands, there is impassioned need for artistic respite. Simplicity, it has been said, is the essence of beauty. I couldn’t agree more.”

When news of The Hobbit being turned into a firm first broke out, I was quite the giddy camper. After all, it was 11 years ago when I first discovered Lord of the Rings and its epic goodness and I was quite excited for this movie. And with Peter Jackson back at the helm in directing the prequel of the trilogy that made me fall in love with the series, you bet that I was very much looking forward to this movie. So much to the point that I just wanted my last final to be over and for midnight to strike so I could watch. via Reelwire

"Macrocosm and microcosm is an ancient Greek Neo-Platonic schema of seeing the same patterns reproduced in all levels of the cosmos, from the largest scale (macrocosm or universe-level) all the way down to the smallest scale (microcosm or sub-sub-atomic or even metaphysical-level). In the system the midpoint is Man, who summarizes thecosmos."

" I was doing some researches  and I found experiment with miniatures of space so I decided to try my own. The result has been nebulae, galaxies and supernovae  transformed into microorganism.” - Artist’s Statement”

Kyz Kala, a 7th-century CE fortress outside of the city of Merv (in modern day Turkmenistan). Although now off the beaten path, Merv was a central trade city along the Silk Roads because it was near a key oasis in the dry central Asian environment. By the twelfth century, it was one of the largest cities in the world, containing perhaps 200,000 people. When the Mongols arrived in the 1220s, they supposedly slaughtered almost the entire population of the city, and Merv never regained its prominence.
