The workings of the universe are endless,continuous motions. They are accompanied by enormous energy beyond all imagination, and repeated in the vastness of space. The art works of mine deal with these endless workings of the universe and the encounter of the memory of materials and lives with the sense of self. This means my genes have been existent along with the development of the universe from its creation to today, and proceeded on a journey through everlasting time and space. By searching our memories, I think we can feel the beauty of materials and lives and the truth of the universe.
