"My work is created from my surroundings, especially the lives of those around me. Absorbing and touching things around me is the essence of my artwork creation. If one devotes effort and determination to the work, it will reflect the mood and feeling as you want/wish it to be in its purity.

I see current society is in binary opposition moving only toward self annihilation, leaving no space for true and pure creativity. If our society could see that art could be a great tool in bridging diverse minds, problem solving would be seen from a diiferent light. Conflict resolution, instead of conflict, would be more valued.

May our world have peace and freedom soon. With sincere condolences for those who have lost loved ones from the violence in our world, and with faith in everyone who struggles for peace....with faith in human dignity, I offer my art"
