This site-specific art brings to light the relationship between the city and the individual, as well as the dystopia that exists there, by intervening in the city.
He picked up various types of paper lying around Berlin and assembled the pieces to create the form of a map of Berlin. Among the carelessly scattered trash, the most widely consumed paper - flyers, fast food wrappers, magazines - symbolizes the scrap-and-build process in which buildings and people are constantly replaced. The abstract colors created by assembling these pieces represent the chaos of the city, and the petal-shaped pieces that proliferate within it express the uncertainty of the city's existence - what one might call "delicate, like petals that scatter when blown."

I picked up various kinds of paper from the street in Berlin, and created a berlin map form by assembling the pieces. Among Berlin trash that is scattered indefinitely, paper that is consumed in large quantities are symbols of scrap-and-build buildings and people that are constantly changing. The abstract color created by collection of pieces is the city's chaos, and the petal-like pieces which are growing in it represent the uncertain existence of the city. In other words, "The city is fragile like the assembly of flowers scattered ".
