BRIEF:
| I alway want to look through things, like with the power of X-ray. I assume that the city is like a stage, and there must be some hidden emotions and secrets behind walls, mountains, or just behind your back. In my drawings, I like to "capture" such hidden truths, on paper, as if it is an X-ray film. |
