Modern society is developing very fast. Despite the conveniences, people feel an emptiness in their hearts. They need to have some beauty in their lives.

I want to make this world beautiful through the natural beauty of my sculptures to save people from the stresses and anxieties of modern life, and transport them to a remote, romantic world of dreams. I want to spread my work to the world to comfort people and give them peace in their hearts.

I believe that beautiful art can relax one’s heart and regenerate the spirit of modern cities.

Consequently, I fabricate metals to show people how beautiful and how soft metals look can be.

Also, I want viewers to feel as though they have stepped into a futuristic botanical garden, an immersive space where nature and metal are intertwined. As they move through the gallery, the atmosphere should evoke the serenity of a lush garden, but with an industrial edge-where metal vines climb, metallic petals bloom, and every element blurs the boundary between the organic and the artificial.
