Artist Statement
 
          Art is an aesthetic language that I find effective to connect humanity. I have been asking myself “What is life?” and I am finding the answer in the transiency and oneness of nature. By nature, I do not mean just woods but everything, including us. The never ending circulation of life and death in all things, connected to each other, within the cosmos, is telling us the answer.
         Images from the news and documentaries trigger controversial questions about life, and I search for the answers in the nature. Everything keeps moving, including myself. Water moves from rivers to the air and becomes clouds, then falls back to the land. Earth creatures drink the water, and it becomes part of their body. From sunrise to sunset, from spring to winter, all coexist in a single picture plane. Although everything keeps changing, there is something that never changes.
