Personal statement:

I am always conscious of the contemporary world at every moment; I thus use my maximum knowledge and tools that I possess at that moment to conduct my production to display my ability to the full. The biggest aim of my production is to show the beauty of a work of photography that is consistent with a clear concept.

I have the merit of being able to produce the knowledge and the intelligence that I have gained through an advanced education and my rich experiences into my work of photography. In other words, I can express my knowledge and intelligence in works of photography.

The most important and represented works are ‘World of Round’ and ‘SOURCE’ etc, both of my works had been highly valued by the art scene in the world.
