Using his imagination, in his work,he goes on to ponder whether people's features are related to their behavior, culture, social standing and other aspects. As viewers react differently to various symbols, he expects his audience to see his works in a variety of ways, using different interpretations, based on personal experiences.

He was awarded a residency at the Fukuoka Asian Art Museum, Japan in 2005 and participated in the Fukuoka Triennale in the same year.
