Artist Statement 

My work primarily focuses on nature especially where I live or where I had been, the shape of land and the feeling of the environment influences my work.

One of the ways expressing the beautiful nature or the scene by work of art, I captured them by photo and collaged the photo image like fragments of remembrance and added my emotion and sense of art with colors on boards.
