ARTIST STATEMENT
I think that whether I go to the Amazon jungle to be around local tribes,
or go to Turkey to face wars and conflicts,
I just want to increase depth and expand my personal understanding of life.
Like the symbols I talk about I am the roads I have traveled, the complex of stories.
Various cultural symbols grow savagely in my body, struggling and colliding,
Bloom a unique flower without borders.
What I want to do is to look beyond the people's 「roles」
and explore the 「1% self」 of real human nature.
