One of the things that is true of nearly all excellent art in all media is that in its final manifestation it seems somehow inevitable for it to be that way. Sometimes, more rarely, it's not just seemingly inevitable but also surprising. Consider the formal, internal logic of Mozart or Bach. From a music theory standpoint their internal workings seem completely orderly and self evident. But when each composer began the work, the page was blank. Here is the miracle and ultimate mystery of art, I believe, and why it is important over time.
This is one of the things that distinguishes this work. The artist's ability to "find" these formal harmonies within contexts most would ignore as too quotidian or even ugly, and thus elucidate their internal beauty, is the hallmark of an extremely keen eye-mind combination. And that takes dedication and years and years of internalizing how formal relationships function. It's work. Lots of us can take nice scenics that are quite attractive, even "spectacular". But what sculptormic does, and Boris Kolo in an excellent example above, is something different.
You can tell I'm a fan.
