Works: 

The architectural models in my art work can be compared to a human body. The light, camera view and the sounds within the model is a metaphor of consciousness, soul, and memories within a body. The various states of the structures such as being closed, opened, or grouped respond to the light, camera view, movement, and sound. Then, they recombine as psychological scenery that has escaped familiarity of reality.
