FADV is conceptually based on my research on possibilities of going somewhere that doesn't exist. It is an experiment on simulating nothingness. It attempts to merge quantum unpredictability with general relativity. It is my own version of string theory. While practically absurd, it expresses a deep emotional quest for finding belonging in nothingness.

I don't belong anywhere, then I should go somewhere that doesn't exist.

I am bothered by injustice in society. I have a desire for utopia, something perfect, something that doesn’t exist. The perfection I look for is not in the material qualities but in the spirit. Like divine truth. As unachievable as nothingness is, I attempt it through my artistry. While the machines are practical experiments on different parts of my research on existence; the thought provoking humor, born from the absurdity of attempting impossible spiritual concepts through machinery, is what makes my work poetic. It is a never ending performance.
