"Design
intentions are sparse, without symbolism, representation or
iconography. Current sculptural structures are manifestations
of cast concrete, oxidized iron, glass and stone. I have identified
the sensibility as zenbrutalism. Zen being simple austerity,
an attitude encouraging self-less tranquility. Brutalism being
a movement in architecture that asserted the primacy of elements-
space, structure and materials exposed in their untrammeled
form," Philip Sommer
