The exhibition is titled "Planaria.

Planaria is derived from an organism that reproduces by means of fission. In this exhibition, we can see how the images of the works are output in various forms, such as paintings, videos, and sculptures, and how they continue to expand from the surface to the space.

It represents a metaphor for the current era in which, like planaria, it is impossible to distinguish which is the parent and which is the child, which is the original and which is the duplicate.

At the exhibition, a total of 17 works will be displayed and sold, including 14 new works and 3 three three-dimensional works, as well as two types of soft vinyl figures (100 pieces each), which will be sold on a limited basis.
