  • flirting with the logic of ready-made objects /the choice of objects is limited to easy recognition and strategic emphasis of an open and perfect form/
  • creation of artefacts from high-quality materials /works of art by GAS Inc. arouse in the consumer the feeling of eternity and create an illusion of unchangeability and uniqueness of being/
