"Bamboo, paper and twine are a symbolic reference to nature. The presence of humankind is suggested in the papers printed with apparent inscription. The splayed bamboos are bound with twine-bandaged-wounds inflicted by piercing stalks of paper. All affecting metaphors allude to a travesty of nature by humankind."
-- Dolly Unithan
