I have selected exhibitions are Artrie Gallery, Korea; Seoul Art Center, Korea; KCC Gallery, NJ; Hutcheson Gallery in NY; The Art in City Hall in Philadelphia,PA ; Riverside Gallery in NJ; and others. I dreams and imagines a village and builds a small utopia through my art pieces. I gathers scraps of papers and cloth, and then produces a collage of a dreaming village of my own community. The works contain purity and innocence, sometimes express poignant state of isolated and displaces reality of the contemporary society. website:
