About Work

[Vertical Bonsai] follows the wall-mounted style in which a twig is fixed on the wall and mounted in a wooden frame, as if it were a graphic work. The bonsai below it visually escapes from the plane, making the work shift amidst 2D plane and 3D space. The austere and simple design creates a sober, calm, and otherworldly setting.
