Since his solo exhibition in 1996, he has exhibited many works in the motif of camelids. The camel bird is not a motif of his love for animals, but a form of interest and an image in the process of capturing the movement of the space and the air. In 2005, he held his first solo exhibition “Flightless” in New York with the motif of camelids, and at the same time, he aims at the boundary of beauty from a completely different motif as “BROKEN FLOWER” series vol.1.
