Drawing on studies in anatomy, anthroposophy, physiology, and embryology, his work embraces the animistic dimensions of environment, nature, and complex phenomena, with an expanded sense of the body. Through this, he continues to question and realize the many textures of expression. He is currently active as a director, performer, and producer with the creative groups BARINAMO, SHINBI BAND, and Q-PERFORMANCE.
His major works include <Deep Hearts>(2025), <Me by you>(2024), <Lake in the Lake>(2023), and <The Wilderness>(2023).
