Sailor Of No Country

“You can take a sailor out of the country not the country out of the sailor” –  the adage has undergone major overhaul in recent years.  Bringing Sistine Chapel to the newly constructed World trade center whoever’s bright idea it was is a standing example. If freshly baked baguettes could be flown in from Paris then why not Art being the
underlying idea?

When I heard one young individual greeting another, addressing as “Dude” in the streets of Seoul, during my recent visit, I realize that a jargon did not belong to any one location any longer, that I did not need to be in Southern California to hear that mode of address.  Back to my recent boundary unbinding sculpture pieces that are meant to incorporates its surroundings as visual elements turned out to be more of a pain to photograph than I had imagined.  Here are some of my attempts to photograph them in Time Square.
