The Innatus Forma series speaks to tree forms:

"The persistent transformation of tree forms and textures speaks about tenacity and harmonious survival in their environment. Employing the inherent physical characteristics of fine metal wire allows the portrayal of a variety of expressive qualities in the tree trunk through structure, textures, and volume. Korean Ottchil technique and various colouring techniques are applied in order to show nuances and intrinsic character of the colours of tree trunks."
