Director Statement

I have always portrayed myself as an art savvy. I'd view every art piece as a treasury concept. No art is silly, it is a language that only a few speak. However, to a very realistic person like me, I never was considered an artist myself. I understand the language very much that I can create content out of it, but I can't myself be fluent in it. That's why most my work reflects realistic stories. Documentaries, real stories, real people. Reality makes me create art.
