- Scene 2: the artist’s hometown, on the levee, a house selling building materials
The cement roof tiles are stacked high, each stack has two strings woven through to bind the tiles together.
- Scene 3: the rooftop of Á Space
The porcelain roof tiles are made in the shape of the cement roof tiles, stacking on top of one another. Rain and sunlight will decompose the tiles naturally over the course of the showcase.
