Entry Description

People always affect me in diverse ways. When I spend some time with a friend who is optimistic, I become quite optimistic; on the other hand, when I hang out with a friend with a negative trait, I become quite depressed and serious. People, therefore, are important to me. One hobby I enjoy often is people watching. People—even strangers—intrigue and interest me, inspiring to take photos. My staying at a cafe is a part of my mundane life, hence. When I watch people in Seoul, South Korea, I realize that they are simply busy; I become quite anxious after observing those people who rush to their different destinations. All these people who influence and inspire me to create the work of art are protected and spend a lot of time in different buildings. My works often involve buildings, consequently. Buildings that house people are meaningful just as people are to me.
