I have been fascinated with new discoveries that I make whenever taking the charms out of an element and applying them into another element, such as converting the overlap of dynamics and harmony of music into a video, and light and human movement into sound.

I also feel the possibilities of expressions where multiple elements such as the rhythm existing in architecture and the structural beauty existing in music intersect.

I’d like to enjoy new experiences that can be gained through activities of expanding various lifestyle-related elements by using technology with other members.
