Artist Statement:
"Speaking of technology, the most important thing which occurs to me, is its tight connection with our future. People have been enhancing technology since ancient times and I see it as an infinite road that leads to the progress of our society and improves the lives of billions with each new invention. Every project created by scientists, engineers and professionals from all over the world contributes to implementing changes in various areas of life: transport system and mobility, healthcare and safety, medicine and treatments.
After considering the topic for some time, I came to the conclusion that a puzzle is a good metaphor for the topic of technology shaping our planet. There is never an easy answer to the question of science and the evolution of technology is never a straight road. Only we can shape our future and fit all the puzzle pieces together so in the end, we may get a nicely shaped infrastructure created with the purpose to make people's lives better."
