Synopsis

When we come close to each other, we want to separate. When we separate, we want to come close to each other again..

Statement

It is important for me to keep in mind that the creation of animation is an extension of the purity and innocence of childhood. For example, it is a moment when I recall that I played with building blocks or toys as much as I wanted without caring about time.

On the other hand, as I grew up and started doing lighting work, I became interested in distance and contact. More specifically, people and things gather around light and move away from darkness. As a lighting specialist, I often feel this phenomenon is strange.

I apply this work to animation, touch things using light, and sometimes move away to grasp the distance. I want to explore the relationship between animation and light from various angles.

Lastly, I am ageing, but my work resists ageing. Please take a close look at my work in which I have played as much as I liked.
