Existence

With reinforcing craftsmanship, he constantly polishes the fundamental skills of pattern cutting and making. He also extends his boundary to leather crafts. With artisan vision, he has the desire to control the whole process from scratch. His works are motivated by the philosophical contemplation that human beings are infinite. He constantly gives fundamental questions like the reasons why we exist. These curiosities are extended to his works. Garments created are considered as one of the living creatures to him. He believes that they are created having questions about their existence, and the wearer would be given the same questions. He believes that it makes a deep and direct connection between him and the wearer. This small stream makes the protesting stream against the current fashion trend.
