The colors of skins, hairs, and clothes of the dolls are merged and become a mass of vivid colored pattern with a basic tone of Asian skin. In spite of the fact that fearful breaking and blending of the human figures, 3(three) produces an aesthetic material which abandon the virtual identities but still have a sense of human existence.

3(three) applies this new material into forms of classic fine arts such as abstract painting, geometric sculptures and human statues. All the series of 3 (three)’ s works describe about being and not being in the reality by manipulating information through the transformation of bodies.
