"I express the entire process of the birth of life, from the conception to the delivery, in 'Asymmetrical Inversion'. This title is meant to suggest the delivery/reproduction of all life on the Earth.

All life on the Earth hold[s] 'time exposures' in common... These sculptures transform 'the asymmetrical inversion' to the forms of the empty sculpture which effects the light inversion via light refraction, diffraction and polarization. And the sculptures pulsate the symphony of the air formation diffused with rainbows."
-- Toshio Sasaki
