The word death scares us and makes us feel like the end of life. Some of us think that death is something to look forward to, while others want to forget it.

With our art, we want to show how we begin, feel, and end our life journey that ends with unity.

A series of mixed media portrait photography projects were conducted during high school, using our emotions. This series portrays what 'REHAT' (rest) means to me.

—Silent Stiff Emotion.

Through the time & space that spurred by dust grains, now is no longer taboo to see each other. Freedom from emotional burdens is no longer just a new expectation, yet..I don't want it to be silent and coy. I want my face showered with rays when my times to meet You.

The memories of spending my last summer vacation are still fresh in my mind. Every moment spent together was priceless and unforgettable. We were so close that we couldn't imagine doing anything apart from our besties. From exploring new places to trying exotic foods, we shared every experience with each other and made the most out of our time together. The bond we formed during that trip is something that I cherish and will always be grateful for.
