'My Post-Industrial Landscapes project explores how industrialisation has affected the land and our life by observing its aftermath. Nature seems to have been disturbed at first, then to have reclaimed the leftover areas once again, and we continue to enjoy nature in other ways after its commodity has gone. Dali’s Hole is part of this landscape series, which reveals to me our astonishing ability to completely transform nature on such a large scale. The different layers of natural and social histories are revealed in turns by the changing water levels in the artificial lake.'
