Why "STONE"

I have been working with stone for visualizing "What I think is TIME" and "What I think is SPACE".These two matters for me are not confirmed as physical objects but I am within them.

Stone is one of the most premitive and original material to humanbeing. Mankind have been living with them from the first stage.

More I carve stone, I find more how is the Universe we belong to. I am probably existing on small part of endless Time and in limited part of borderless Space.

"Small Time" and "Small Space", so I learned as Buddhistic idea in Japan when I was a boy.

While I am hitting stone it become clearer in my mind step by step. When I break stone finding my existence in the small part of Universe.

So I can´t stop hitting stone as for as trying to see my own existence in the Time and in the Space

Am I Now? Am I Here?
