Artist Statement:

This work explores surrealistic animation. An infinite reflection model creates a mirror environment. The work depicts the world of my dreams. When you reach out to touch something in the dream, it moves away like a mirage. We are often deceived by the real world, as if our material world of economic systems is the ultimate goal. We strive for money and social position. Our pure and honest heart is whispering in our dreams that there is something more precious than plutocracy.
