Creating art is act of assuring my presence floating between memories and dreams, and it enables me to expand the wings of dreams from the fading memories. Emotions generated in life become the texture and rhythm to art. In desperation, I seek for the joy and comfort, with the beam of dreams enlightened by nature.

I hold the sky in my heart where a bird, molded by my fingers, hovers. I dip my soul to feel the breath of the fish that I carved. Unable to fly high or swim deep, yet not a strong being on land, I try to embrace the qualities and wisdom in nature to conciliate my physical limitation and bring myself closer to my dream
