“Through a long time of the harmony, all the selected objects rust, fade, and dry. The order and balance of all the things laid on the time. Staring at the reality of them, unrecognized time reveals itself through objects, and adduces the way to the inner side.” “모든 오브제는 오랜 조화의 시간을 지나면서 바래고 녹슬고 건조된다. 시간 위에 놓여진 것들의 질서와 균형, 그 실상을 주목하고 응시하노라면 지각할 수 없는 시간은 오브제를 통해 모습을 드러내고 내면으로 들어서는 길을 제시한다.” - 안종대 “Through a long time of the harmony, all the selected objects rust, fade, and dry.
