I have loved to look at the sky since I was young, and I was fascinated by the nature and shape of the ever-changing
clouds. Clouds that could become anything, and the main characters in childhood cartoons that could become
anything. The art that I always met around me was a character in cartoons and stationery, and those objects
naturally merged in my life to create the character of ‘Cloudy’.

For me, clouds symbolize dreams. Just as the clouds that show off their immaculate appearance in the sky make
a rainbow that shines only after it rains. At first, I felt that the various joys and sorrows that I felt in the process of
achieving my dreams that I couldn't see well, but that I desperately hoped to reach, were similar to that.

All the characters appearing in my work have a face called ‘Double L Smile’. If you continue to draw that spiral on
your face, you can meet a smile that continues to infinity. This starts from the face of the character and connects
several places in my work to convey Love, Laughter, and Lively. Like a rainbow that appears like a gift and presents
wonderful moments in everyday life, I hope that many people will gain dreams, hopes and bright energy for
tomorrow from my characters and work.
