My inspiration is everyday view of New York City, and awe of the Nature especially in the Southwest. Since seeing the endlessly fascinating nature on a trip to the West, my perspective of New York City changed completely. I see the city within nature: vast, seven-colored land can be replaced on the teracotta and naples yellow bricks of the buildings with geometrical shape in the city. And this artificially shaped nature always moves me to open new possibilities with the elements of the nature.
