MESSAGE

By seriously playing with iron, before you know it, you will find yourself enjoying yourself with nothing, and the overlap of time and the background will create individuality and stories. Form is created by valuing the texture of the material, nurturing a ‘feeling heart’, and connecting with people and space. I hope that my work will become one with the scenery that can be seen beyond the form, and express the heart as it is.
