Alva Hajn's free creation is characterized by its overflowing energy, often harsh, which turns noble material into anarchy and chaos and dull materials such as concrete and asphalt paper into decorative structures. The submitted object belongs to its free creation and is not bound by a commercial order, which was subject to the customer's wishes. His peers called such orders "bread comissions". Alva Hajn is conceptual and playful in testing what the paper can still bear. The object recalls the representation of the principle of yin and yang - in their multi-layered and strongly connected with the author himself.
