STATEMENT

For my collaging tools, I use used magazines.

I am making works that go hand in hand with the theme of design along daily life. As we challenge various tastes, paper collage changes the form of expression while both challenging and maintaining consistency. For that reason, my artmaking is always a growth process, it is also the realization of new discoveries.
