His work reflects the narrative of the way and process of embodying and considering images in his work. He borrows symbols, signs, and repetitive narratives that appear in religion or mythology.

Recently, the artist have introduced the concept of '식(蝕): eclipse' as a means to express things that have no form but still exist. '식(蝕): eclipse' refers to the point where things with physical forms exist in reality and things that cannot be specifically embodied. In the exhibition, he used this device to replace it by shaping the invisible world.
