Now living in Reno, Nevada with the belief of Joseph Beuys thought “everything is art and everyone is an artist”. He believes “only art has the ability to be a truly universal language when it is totally ideologically free”. Furthermore, art is a language of unsayable. So, he loves to think “living can also be an art”.

As an artist, his purpose of doing art is to provoke towards finding being’s authentic metabolic existence through works or living. Additionally, to influence towards finding being’s ontological connectivities to live in unison as all are different than others. Finally, his art process is not only designated to find out being’s origins or completion but to comprehend their identities as the non-coincidence of undesirable self.
