Since I moved to the United States, my primary medium has been paper. I have always been deeply interested in exploring new materials and understanding their essence. I was given a wonderful opportunity to make paper by hand for the first time, and that experience opened a new chapter in my artistic journey. The encounter with new materials and techniques has had a profound influence on my life as an artist.

I often contemplate the relationship between cosmic phenomena and human existence.
From a philosophical and symbolic perspective, a solar eclipse can be seen as a balance between light and darkness, a sign of transformation, and a symbol of cyclical renewal.
The moment when the Sun (representing consciousness and life) is briefly veiled by the Moon (representing the unconscious and shadow) can be interpreted as a time when the inner world reveals itself.
