In the production of his works, he uses the theme of "membrane" to create his self-portraits. This theme of "membrane" functions as something that separates the inside from the outside, something that covers something, and in his work, he expresses it as a shell that protects him and blocks his contact with others. I see this theme as a means of exploring the relationship between the inside and the outside, and as a symbolic element for examining the way one relates to oneself and others, or the distance between oneself and society. Throughout his work, the concept of "membrane" is a consistent theme. In recent years, he has explored this concept of "membrane" in a more multilayered way. In particular, he is focusing on new ways of "membranes" in the digital age. Smartphone screens and social networking profiles can be considered to function as a kind of "membrane" in the modern age. Although these elements have different characteristics from physical membranes, they still exist as boundaries that separate the inside from the outside. The reason why I create self-portraits on the theme of "membrane" is because I am inspired by my own experience in my life of feeling a line like a "membrane. By creating a self-portrait, I can express the inner part of myself and more sensitively express "inside and outside. For this reason, he uses himself as a model.
