"FOREST hole -1, -2, -3" and "FOREST -Y3, -Y5"

three sculptures are made from white granite, and two sculptures are made from black granite.

It does not carve a shape into a stone, it chips away at a stone to the limit for keeping a hole that was drilled.
Accordingly a shape seemes like a branch, coral or strange creature. But these shape's core is hole.
I haven't seen yet what will be there in the end of this paradoxical behavior that makes remain stone's shape for a hole.
It might be a basic shape of creature which is clad in a shell of inorganic substance.
