- (On the day of the opening, it was warm and is at about -5 degrees Celsius. I told such things to the people of Gapyeun city.)
Can you see it?It is a little piece of my expression work.
This thin branch is you and/or me. In other words, it represents human being. The three branches would be, for example, blood, flesh and bones or birth, growth and death. And even they could be war, love and peace. The three branches could be anything whatever you think of human being. Then the tree means nature.
My works were put in somewhere three places on this site. It is much smaller than this. It is a small gate connecting human to nature. Please stand in the middle of the gate when you found it.
I am very happy that I could come here and think about nature and me on this site.
- • • • RABU • • •
- Our family dog, Rabu, passed away on September 27, 2010. Since then, I have been spending days of confirming "she is not here", otherwise I feel like "she is here by me" unconsciously without awareness of ''she's not here."
However, she wouldn't have expected such the situation around me and I decided to go for a walk in the forest, of course, with Rabu of the young time. Rabu's footprints are on the Earth. Rabu's soul became a streak of white line running and disappeared in the air.

- The building of Local Culture Museum Kunitachi is the extensive use of glass.
Benches were made of glass blocks.
I feel light at this place even if inside the building or outside the building, light penetrates, reflects, and is captured into. I have a feeling that was confirmed in glass blocks.
Because the light is color itself.
- • • • A Soul in White Passes through a Red Bridge • • •
- All lives born in this world start a trip to a different world sometime and the soul departing to a trip ranges as a white track.
This place provides us a relief but it makes us feel dangerous at the same time. The red bridge is "WE."
The departed white track becomes a portion of metempsychosis. Would the white track return again.

- • • • The Swing in Orange • • •
- The national colors of Holland is orange and blue. A part of a tree painted in orange and the other part of a tree painted in blue were hung above the brook. Orange represents the land of Holland and blue means water. Hanging two pieces above the brook, orange piece (upper) foresees the sky from leave's shade and leads to the heavens. Blue piece (lower) swings by the ripples of water while projecting the figure of thyself.
The surface of a brook is moving up and down after raining and art pieces are swung by breeze.
A certain Hollander murmured "balance."

Encounter: A Place and Art
When "Place" and "I" mix, things which don't exist so far between "Place" and "I", appears as a new art piece.
The inner thing assimilates into me and an outer thing emerges out.
