"Seed" is my first major and serious work. With it, I felt as if I was hatching from an egg as a sculptor. Everything was new to me: the material and the tools. The material I happened upon was 160-year-old larch wood. Incidentally, I still use the wood I obtained back then in my work. For shaping such large forms, I chose two main tools: a chainsaw and an angle grinder (grinding machine). I also bought several chains for the saw and a few wood-processing discs for the grinder to try out.
For the next month, I worked with the log from morning until evening. At first, I rolled it from one side to the other to saw off pieces here and there. Then, when the future sculpture became lighter, I was able to set it upright and work with it in that position. After a month, it was finished. I named this work "Seed" as a symbol of the birth of something new.
