The artist incorporates various round elements into her artwork, creating a captivating narrative of ARU's dreams in the starry sky. The concept of boundlessness is symbolized by the presence of round shapes, inviting the audience to immerse themselves in an experience of unlimited space, reminiscent of the vastness of the cosmos. Additionally, it is also the artist’s first time to do a large-scale wood sculpture.
