Works

As a child, I told everyone that I want to become a painter, but I never actually tried to pursue the path.
I majored in graphic design at my university in America because my time in the U.S. has taught me that life would be meaningless if I don't learn what I want to do.
After my encounter with chalk art, which reminded me of the joy of painting, I began my career as an artist.
What all my works have in common is the underlying memories of my life in the U.S. from 2007 to 2017.
