When I was student, I usually use silicone in my work Silicone is a light, flexible material. that moves freely. It provides a simple and easy way for me to express my story Many artworks are based on the continuous study and experience of nature In my work,  I actively express the organic movements of cells with their mysterious colours and constantly changing forms, creating texture with the materiality and transparency of silicone. I always try to express the living in my work so most of pieces have rich colours and unique shapes. My creative process begins with imagination inner visualisation and I movie those images onto the paper. I have plenty of freestyle drawings. Usually I depict my object in exuberant primary colours. The richer colours  bring the drawings to life. It’s not an inanimate object any more Then I recreate the drawing as a three-dimensional structure. I was very inspired by Dong Chun Lee, a professor at Kookmin University in South Korea. I have learned a lot under his tutelage and have become an artist who tries to listen to the inner voice of the object.
