It was closer to an abstract subject than before. Waves were a concrete image but had abstract forms. I developed more medieval techniques and materials to my own style. A painting was painted on a thick and solid long piece of wood, frequently it consisted of two or three separated panels. I had been thinking that a painting had to have a frame. But I did not attach frames to the paintings in the series Waves. I showed sides of the wood panels. It also freed my mind. In 1989, I had my first show at Soho in New York City.

When I began the Waves series, the waves were water. Waves in the water were the substance, and movement of waves was the quality. I painted waves in the water. Around 1989, I began to doubt that ideaand had more interest in Movement. I became more interested in about surrounding phenomenonor cause than objects itself. I began to visualize movement. The following series "Movement" or "Streams ..." was started in 1990.
