My works emerge from in the middle of the interplay between
white and black,
the positive and the negative,
naive and sophisticated,
surface and depth,
physical impulse and psychological process.
I observe the boundary between both, and I grab a moment of deviation
from each bounds. In there, I experience tension which intrigues me
to draw a particular pattern from the general expectation. Then, my
intricate feeling and physicality resolve into a simple form.
