By draining symbolic water (rippled sand) into a dried hauz (pool) pertained to a traditional Islamic architecture, I wanted to create a space where two distant cultures, that of Japanese Zen and that of Uzbekistan Muslim,meet in harmony. In the first culture, the material world is only an illusion. In the second culture, perfect geometry leads to spirituality beyond the visible world. Needless to say, the installation makes homage to Silk Road that brought the first real global civilization exchange.
