Sign of Movement is a new type of work that highlights the efforts of the artist to provide solutions to issues that he has been exploring, including space, moving, the storage of artworks, and their placement after exhibition.
Birds that freely fly independent from the boundaries imposed by humans and animals abandoned in the process of redevelopment embody migration and displacement, which are extensions of the concept of movement.
Methods of survival for adapting to the urban environment is closely related to environmental changes. The work contemplates a series of processes like a Möbius strip, from urban concentration, high population density, and various urban issues to the impact of global environmental changes on humans.

The Martyrdom of Men: Newly Made Big Head Sculptures, the artist made close observations of rose of Sharon flowers that had fallen on the streets, opening and then gently lining up the shriveled blossoms that had lived a harsh life.Â
The lanterns comprising the work represent a past and present of living each day with devotion while cultivating good will, and the motif of rose of Sharon provides a metaphor for the noble lives that we have sacrificed, their significance, and the weight of martyrdom.

Can’t Be a Fossil is a story about the end of future life forms triggered by a civilization created by mankind. The work illustrates a world in which humans with their anthropocentric view of nature develop incubators to preserve endangered animals that subsequently continue their lives isolated from the contaminated environment.
Plastic, a barometer of the Anthropocene, piles up into fossils and the Earth eventually faces its demise from the constant development undertaken by mankind. However, just like cells that constantly repeat the cycle of creation, extinction, and regeneration, the Earth recovers its regenerative capacity thanks to the disappearance of mankind. The work hints the beginning of a new geological epoch.

Babel × Babel II is a participatory internet art project that highlights the impact of human actions on the environment by inviting people to upload images of trash, constructing a massive garbage tower reminiscent of the Tower of Babel. This project aims to make people aware of the environmental crises caused by modern society's arrogant attitude toward nature.

From the distant past to the present, countless animals and plants have been sacrificed for beliefs in their efficacy, gastronomy, and ostentation. "He Left on the Very Day I Came Back" highlights the plight of bears, whose bile and paws are traded on the black market and whose heads and skins are kept as trophies. Through a surreal, fable-like video, the artist aims to shed light on the anxieties and environmental crises caused by human selfishness.
