About 

The human body gives meaning to a space, as emphasized by Kate Nesbit’s theory of places. The intertwining of body and space creates specific meanings, forming the core of the concept of place. Space is shaped by human behavior and, in turn, influences human behavior.

Our entire body serves as the center of our perceived space and the origin of coordinates. In a sense, there is some commonality between society and space, and it cannot exist without human existence. In the changing cities, societies, and the world, I pursued more space for the existence and reflection of the people. I am constantly deepening my understanding of people, so it is my pleasure to be a designer and roamer roaming myself and space.
