Electronic products, copper water pipe and wire are manufactured and distributed in the city using the modern industrial products. They become electronic waste disposed in the city once their original function is lost. I collected and paint on those discarded abandoned products and the waste materials are transformed into a series of a new cityscape. The recent sculptures using ready-mades further investigate the mutating city habitats.
