DI: What is the most unique aspect of your design?
JYS : My creation likes to interpret kinetic energy or dynamics from the aesthetic context of Futurism (1909-) and Constructivism (1917-). The speed and continuous movement displayed by the kinetic energy of nature and animals are often full of charming energy images. I pursue the beauty of dynamic energy itself that can be interpreted in a restrained and elegant manner at the moment of defying gravity, flying in the air, and sliding.
DI: Any other things you would like to cover that have not been covered in these questions?

Artist statement:
The wind gliding on the water is dense, discrete and aggregated in the light and air current. The invisible energy in the atmosphere drifts along with the light rhythm, sometimes thick and full; sometimes smooth and unrestrained. Like a graceful dancer, whirling and jumping in a serendipitous time and space, like a streamlined and elegant wind.
