I hope that cheerful days are connected here and there.

Even on days when I feel good, sometimes I feel uneasy, and sometimes I am puzzled by the changing times and society. Still, I value the interior so that I can spend my life comfortably. That is what I learned from my daily life in pottery manufacturing and my trip to Northern Europe. It is a book that summarizes the photos and words that I wrote on Instagram, the background of the work, interviews, etc. according to the spatial expression at the solo exhibition held in October 2019.

About Bilingual
