“Over my pure belief in life, and my questioning of social value systems, I respond through the way of labor by creation. The speed and reality of opening and consuming this world - - I attempt to find a purity and value that has been ignored; a beauty left behind in life. Sense organs and intuition are used to break the powerful and rational boundary of thinking as well as the habitual standard of single value. The flowing space is used to take in, bear and digest moods while exploring the possible outlines of reality; the truth of zero gravity.”
