Take Care of Wonder

Take Care of Wonder is an anamorphic installation that was created for the Monaco Pavilion at Expo 2025 in Osaka, Japan.

As you walk around the object, image fragments arrange themselves into three different motifs. A human hand with a moth, a bird's wing and the words TAKE CARE OF WONDER are visible from three orthogonal viewpoints.

The artwork is made of structural steel that has been laser-cut, welded, powder-coated and screwed together.
The cross-hatching technique of the depictions was not chosen by chance: It allowed detailed drawings in which all the lines remained connected via a kind of grid. This made it possible to laser-cut the image fragments in one piece at a time and screw them to the basic structure.

Take Care of Wonder epitomises the difficult relationship between humans and the earth's ecosystems. The steel installation on the artificial island of Yumeshima expresses an appeal and at the same time remains stuck in the dilemma that human habitat largely contradicts coexistence with non-human animals.
