After talking about his private story, he was answering some questions related to the current lifestyle.

Q: Many people might think artists’ lifestyles would be ‘artistic’ once they hear the word ‘artist.’ For example, you always visit museum or galleries and even you indulge in your own art works. Please introduce your current lifestyle.

A: (laugh) I have not thought my life is ‘artistic’ even though I am surrounded by my works. What if I observe my life as another person’s viewpoint? Would I feel the same way? (laugh) Based on my current situation, I usually go to school by walking from 23rd to 21st street in Manhattan. I always listen to music that I feel each day. At the same time, I pass by lots of people and used to take notes or record my idea at that moment by watching them. In terms of street musicians, I just turn off my music and listen to their music. I also record them and draw some pictures. I believe the places where people meet each other and share feelings are the best sources of my inspiration. Taking a picture, arranging my thoughts, and making a shooting plan are my main focus.
