디자인, 예술, 공예 등과 같이 현존하는 개념들의 경계에서 미래의 표현 가능성을 느낀다. 이는 또한 인간의 감정과 정신 등과 같이 보이지 않는 것들과 삶과 문화 처럼 보이는 것들의 사이에서 존재하는 혼란스러운 아름다움이다. 나는 그 곳에서 나 자신만의 세계를 만들려 노력한다.

I feel that there is a possibility of expression of the future at the boundary of existing concepts such as design, art, and crafts. It is also a chaotic beauty between invisible things such as people’s emotions and spirit and visible things such as life and culture. I am trying to build my own world there.
