Creatures will be reborn in a different world after death. That's what I believe. Before I was 8 years old, I lived at my grandparents' house. They often tell me that people don't die, they just go to another world. So since I was a child, I thought there was room between death and reality. No matter what creature, it will pass here after death. Their remains blend from reality into the earth and into the bones here; the soul goes deeper into the world, back to zero, and waits for rebirth. I often feel the existence of the world in my dreams, perhaps because I subconsciously believe in the world and thus come to mind such a picture. And in the traditional culture of various religions or countries, the legend of death is indispensable, and the world after death is well documented. For example, Buddhism's eighteen-story hell and the world of bliss, Christian hell and heaven. Grandpa's departure made me believe more, perhaps in order to believe that he lived in another world.

The series [Death & Real] was born. This is a world between life and death. I've been planning this project since my first year of college. Influenced by artists of all ages, Hieronymus Bosch was the artist who first influenced me. His creation of ‘The Garden of Earthly Delights’ has also become my most important source of inspiration, because my aim is to create a world in my work from my own group. At the same time, Zdzisław Beksiński's series 'The World After Death' . His paintings depict an apocalyptic fear and darkness, depictions of hell and almost all the themes of his paintings. His series of works are only numbered, but these works have always touched me, because the subject of my research is also about death. So that I've been working on this series for the next two years. In terms of drawing and visual effects, I was influenced by the contemporary artist Kris Kuksi, whose sculptures gave me an unprecedented visual impact. All works are filled with skeletons, mechanical and architectural details, each like a movie or a separate world.

​

[Universal Nature] Death & Real World is the last piece of the series, and my completion of this work means that the series is over. For nearly seven months of writing, I did my best to use almost all the material I surveyed during my college years. This work is the ultimate face of the world of life and death. Although my work is full of skeletons, the world is not hell, not a desperate world. I often dream of these scenes in my dreams, and I can feel the existence of hope, not a nightmare. This hope will reborn the soul and live in another way. It's like the legend I heard when I was a kid.

​

The whole piece is full of elements of plants and animals. These living plants represent the continuation of life and hope. Animals are divided into two elements, animal bones and living animals. In this world, living animals are psychic. They can see the soul and guide it to the world of death. For example, horned cattle, deer, crows, fish. In addition to animals and plants, these two main elements, there are the Holy Grail, Death, ball dolls, plush dolls and other elements. These elements are also common in my other works. The Grail is legendary for fulfilling human desires. Death holds a rusty sickle, where he does not harvest his soul. Ball-shaped joint dolls and baby elephant dolls symbolize pureness and innocence.
