Introduction

The shape of a "parrot's head" that appears in my works represents the modern-day behavior of mimicking and repeating what others do. It is divided by boundaries like a trapped island. Within these boundaries, I float balloons of hope, fly kites, and depict the world through the innocent eyes of playful children. As always, the string of hope resides within us at this very moment. Like children, we should live not in parts but as a whole, loving abundantly without space for hate.

There is undoubtedly an answer to our lives. Although life may seem repetitive, within it lies a melody with vibrations and resonance. It is when the boundaries blur, and we connect with each other that we will truly understand and realize. Erasing serious faces and finding genuine laughter through humor and wit is the path to the essence of life. Laughter is the energy of living in the present moment. When we attach balloons to the energy waves and reach the frequency of happiness, we will embark on a new journey of life into the endless universe beyond the boundaries.
