This project was inspired by the people's superficiality. Judging people based on their outer looks yet not knowing what are they hiding on the inside. Sometimes you may encounter beautiful people with bad personality and vice versa. A cocoon placed in the natural environment, representing the ugly form, is filled with the materials from the nature in that environment and little sculptures made by me and another random people. It's a procedural art piece hence it is slowly disintegrating. This process is making all the insides to pop out, including little sculptures, so the people are able to take them as gifts. It's a metaphor to the people that we don't know and who might not be pretty, yet when we get to know them we might be enriched by the confrontation and discover their inner beauty instead...The artwork is accompanied by the nearby trees with engravings reading (translated) "Beautiful might hide the ugly, ugly might hide the beautiful.
