A collapsed wall is a work of art standing on the borderline between collapse and reconstruction, phenomena and integrative processes of two states, characterised by functional or non-functional functioning. Suppose we define the notion of functionality according to the dialectical principle. In that case, we can observe the world as a fractal set of damage and restoration, and what is functional for some is non-functional for others. Using methods of destroying or restorating, objects and materials used in the artwork Damage and Restoration exit their primary contexts to enter new ones.

Porušeni zid je umetniško delo, ki stoji na meji med propadom in obnovo, fenomenom in integrativnim procesom dveh stanj, za katere je značilno funkcionalno ali nefunkcionalno delovanje. Če definiramo pojem funkcionalnosti po dialektičnem principu, lahko opazujemo svet kot fraktalno serijo poškodb in sanacij; kar je za nekatere funkcionalno, je za druge nefunkcionalno. Z metodami uničevanja oziroma restavriranja objektov in materialov, uporabljenih v delu Poškodba in sanacija, ti zapuščajo svoje primarne kontekste in vstopajo v nove.
