Artist Statement on Mystery Planet:

Creating the future is such a fun. There will be amazing inventions, and we all can do something unbelievable or unexpected. Full of unheard-of architectures built in town, and plants are evolved to strange forms. Also, a possibility of Life on Mars! There will be fear and pleasure to have a glimpse of these secrets of the future, I get so excited and my passions to paint were raised.  This time, I will show new works with the theme of cosmic future. I hope the viewers can visit new world, and their heart leaped and cheered up thru the exhibition.
