As landscapes transform, scaffolds rise, marking the spaces where change unfolds. Jasper uses scaffolds as a metaphor to explore the complexities of transformation. His work reflects his keen attention to overlooked details in everyday life. Reaching out to the community, he incorporates materials sourced from similar backgrounds, making them a tangible part of his method. Scaffolds, according to Jasper, are not just temporary structures but symbols of both creation and destruction. They serve as markers of progress and inequality in rapidly developing cities. Who truly benefits from these changes? Are they creating a fairer, more inclusive environment, or simply deepening the gap between the privileged and marginalized? By drawing attention to scaffolds as recurring elements in the urban landscape, Jasper invites viewers to question whether these transformations are for the better. His work urges the beholder to rethink the way in which cities grow, whether that growth fosters connection or reinforces division.
