A dream land of hope is shinning, a wonder place telling her own story.
All real lives came from Thailand, for a unique memory of Asia...
The land of flowers and lives, that might be going to warp beyond the space-time, resembles closely the world seen with half an eye and exists in the boundary of dream and reality.
It combines thoughts and emotions from the past and today, that went out of the frame and out of the ordinary...
With a strong contrast and above all a lot of inspiration and imagination.
"Butterfly Effect 1" is a unique piece of Fragmentation Art that ROD at research of live natural pieces from Thailand that combines art, architect, sculpture, design, painting, mixed media and pops up the base in tissue without restrictions and full of imagination.
This wall art is spectacular and quite one of a kind.
ROD always seeks to break natural gravity and rules, and uses his sensibility and a new way to blast in freedom the prototype pixelate, structure, and abstract, while maintaining part of the life in an instant, therefore create a brand new world between the reality and the fantasy...
The artist meticulously cut plates of plexi imprinted with photographies into thousands of small cubes that he spreads according to a random or methodical logic belonging to subterfuge, thus recomposed a powerful pixilated, structured and excessive whole "bomb" that invades and takes over the space as well as the mesmerized spectator.
Provenance

Literature
FRAGMENTATION"It is one thing to conceal, another to be silent"
In armament, a cluster bomb is an aerial bomb of simple design that explodes before reaching its target, scattering thousands of shrapnel that spread in random or precise directions, depending on the wanted effect.
In Art, the sharp manipulator of this bomb is ROD.
The process of Fragmentation gives ROD many possibilities to create, taking into consideration Art, Architecture and Design, without limit. It is a photographical, graphic, conceptual and intellectual work. ROD captures, fragments then mixes and gathers several powerful images to recompose a pixilated, structured and excessive whole that invades and takes over the space as well as the mesmerized spectator.
ROD dissects and reconstitutes to better denounce them the visions of society or humanity (pain, injustice, famine…) that cause him a physical, gut reaction.
