Artists statement:
What is the difference between artificial and authentic?
Essence and identity are the basic thoughts in the background of this work, i.e. the interdependence of the amount of identity of something and its essence. Remembering Plutarch's "Theseus ship". The ship of Theseus, also known as Theseus’ paradox, is a thought experiment that raises the question of whether an object that has had all of its components replaced remains fundamentally the same object. Plutarch asked whether a ship that had been restored by replacing every single wooden part remained the same ship. Artist`s conclusion: Only the spirit remains authentic and eternal.
