Sculptures without any stories:
The purpose of it is for people to create/imagine their own stories to match the sculptures. The emotions people have when they view any artworks usually reflect their feelings, stories or experiences that they faced in life (Walpoth, 2013).

Why Wood?
According to Walpoth (2013),
