Once reaching skyward, the tree now rests quietly on the forest floor, its weathered rings marking decades—perhaps centuries—of steadfast growth. Seasons have shaped its form, from tender sapling to towering canopy, until wind, time, or decay brought it down. Yet even in its fallen state, it remains alive in another way: feeding the soil, harboring insects, sheltering seedlings that rise from its side. In this transformation, the tree completes its cycle, returning to the earth the strength it once drew from it, and ensuring that life continues long after its own towering presence has gone.
I am an architectural designer specializing in sports and venue projects. I received my Bachelor of Architecture from Cornell University. Alongside this professional role, I also pursue work in fine art, photography, and writing. My architectural projects have been recognized through international awards, while my artistic and photographic works have been exhibited and published in magazines in EU and NA. In addition, my writings have appeared in magazines in China, Korea, and the United States. I continue to develop these four areas in parallel, allowing them to inform and enrich one another.
