"Interference, according to Wikipedia's definition, is related to the waves created by the spread of space disturbance. When multiple waves of the same type meet (sea waves, sound waves, vacuum waves) at the same point in space, the interference pattern is created. Something new was created from the meetings. Like, what files the emptiness, the ultimate blend between the “what” and the “how”, Practice and theory. Learning and insight, physics with philosophy.

 By doing so, I am trying to blend my Israeli culture, with the Chinese culture.

My intermingling with nature is characteristic of my way of thinking, what is right in nature." Arie Ofir
