Throughout our lives, we constantly crave something. American psychologist Abraham Maslow classified human needs into five categories. The first is the biological desire to eat, sleep, have babies, and so on. The second is the safety desire to protect oneself from physical and mental anxiety. The third is the desire for affection and belonging. The fourth is the desire to be respected by others. The final stage is the desire for self-realization to develop oneself into a more mature human being. These works are about various human desires and are expressed in digital collage technique.

Biography
After graduating from college, I worked on images and text in roles such as reporter, editor, and planner. I have been teaching myself photography and working steadily for over 10 years.
My creative process is a pivotal aspect that clearly shapes my identity as an artist. All my work is centered around surreal collage photography, where taking the photo is only 10% of the process, the remaining 90% is meticulously selecting specific parts of the captured image, rearranging them in a new space and performing post-processing.
