I am blown away by the quality of this work. Can I ask how long it took you to complete this?

I'm speechless. First question are you a magician? Unbelievable! You must share the details. On a side note I visited your website and couldn't help, but to notice where you're from. I hope your loved ones are out of harms way.

I can't even comprehend (s/p?) the amount of thought that has to go into acheiving this not to mention the works itself.

It is truly regretable that the worlds peoples cannot find more time for examples of great creations as this rather than fall into the disorder that we find ourselves in.

Vjacheslav this is admireable beyond words. At least for me.
I find I have no time to make mistakes, I am to busy making ajustments and corrections.

So Awesome! Thanks for sharing, I realize this is an older post, but it's never too late to appreciate.
Human life is a natural extension of the universal creative force. Suffering is caused by the resistance of consciousness to experience aspects of its own being. Love is complete acceptance, letting go to be enveloped, the more you use it, the more there is, inexhaustible, infinite, the mother of all things. The Universe is ruled by cycles, the ancients knew this, and that their mastery has yet to be matched, I am excited for the future.

As I understand life, this work should not be possible in the dimension we live in. Brilliant!

??.. Hans.. this work is possible and has been executed many thousands of times in China over the last 600 years. While I in no way wish to undermine the praise lavished on this piece.. I would encourage other carvers to at least try to figure out the basic technique used in its construction. Its skillful but not magic.. unfortunately... and therefore raises the question what the purpose of the piece actually is? What type of response is it essentially designed to elicit?

I think its like the difference between watching a supremely talented violinist performing and a magician pulling rabbits out of a hat.. while both have the power to entertain and amaze.. I'd suggest the former is the greater accomplishment.

That is unfortunate, because magic is the best explanation I have. I'll leave it to the pros to figure this one out! :unsure: I understand though, calling it "magic" undermines the greatness of the accomplishment. But... it's also a bit of a compliment. No?

Well perhaps "magic" is an appropriate word... "magic" in the illusion sense of the word... something that gives the impression of one thing when in truth its another. :unsure:

I did once go to a very fancy Chinese restaurant where the chef knocked up 4 layered balls out of carrot to decorate his dishes :unsure:
