Mainly works about social interaction, human-scape and relation between psychologic matter and human or nature. Always interested also inspired and passionate to observe in what does human act or behave based on/or beyond the emotions presenting to let out in nature or social scene in abstract shape of visual.

The Armour
‘The Armour’ is about how do we survive and protect ourselves that we feeling fear of being minority in our society. When we do social to keep maintain our lives, we always want to chain with the people in our social bubbles and hope this bubble won’t be pop off, and by this point we want it to showing the best look of ourselves to presenting more valuable person. For me personally this way find of feelings are come it from anxiety from showing continuously make a mark on our present. And the agitation following on anxiety are make us think society is just as like battle field and we are the warriors in the centre. Make us to lead to win in this battle is decided by how valuable based on our appearance rather than inward. Therefore we has to armed ourselves to get ability of ‘Remains’.
