Conserve (2011)

Things become old and change their appearance as time goes by. Things gain complex and attractive charm while they are falling into decay. They are changing as time passes. What is the way of conserving valuable condition of objects? An approach that objects can be permanently preserved is containing in resin. It can chemically freeze a state or a condition of an object. A Swedish vintage carpet is contained in epoxy resin which museums use for conserving insects or fresh flowers. The concept of this work is that conservation is the way to stop aging and freeze the important condition. The objects reborn with another function by combining with new material.
