Saar is artistically inspired by investigations of the metaphysical world, and other intangible areas of knowledge. This mixed media piece has the appearance of a shadow box, with its silver frame supporting it. This piece depicts an apartment building, with an ornate gold roof, and a buddha seated in one of the windows. A street sits below, with 18 wheeler trucks driving below. The scene is dreamlike, with its use of blues and golds and textured appearance. The title, Lost dimensions in time, lends itself to the interpretation of this being outside of our reality, and its use of computer parts creates a fusion of technical and metaphysical worlds.
