This collection serves as a testament to the gallery’s deep-rooted connection to the designer toy movement and its commitment to preserving and celebrating this unique art form. Originally, the concept of restore is to bring back something to an original condition. The goal of "RESTORE" project is to add a new & fresh idea into this time of classical-minded and doubt. That is "RESTORE". It's fun for me to sculpt statues of prototype. But Most of them are the character that has been already created by somebody else. I can arrange them, but won't be able to be an origin. That is the problem. "Original" That's what i wanna be. I'm so sick and tired of lots of similar type of TOYS of this world. I want to create something more conceptual & functional & cool as well... in other words, something that i can find out various values from different angles. Every piece of my work deal with "Present", because I'm living in the present moment. The nearer to the present, the closer to the truth.
