All the pieces on the panel are parts of used cardboard boxes. There are many different colors in one color. We recognize colors with our sensitivity.

I have made it my purpose as an artist to reconstruct the things which are normally discarded in daily life, and give them new life as art. I mostly utilize discarded materials, such as used cardboard boxes. I get a lot of inspiration from the texture, form, and color of them. I believe in the importance and splendor of the imagination, and also, I believe how art can remind us of the beauty of even the things that have been discarded.
