Just look at these four, they love doing this with you! You have captured and saved a moment in time, one we will have forever! They grow and change so fast, but having these to look back on, will always keep this time in our lives close to our hearts!!!! We love you!!!!!!" Moymoy( who wrote this message on my web)
Creaing surprise for myself is the driving force of all my inspiration coming from my imagination.
It is a channel stirring new ideas in those who to take part in the process of my creation. With its inception, every action is made concren. It allows for greater possibilities, just as the energy radiating from light, projecting from the inside out, causes an image on a lampshade to be clearly revealed.
Beyond the mere fabrication of forms, what can creativity achieve? What kind of interactions can people have with the objects that surround them in everyday life? Do the objects in our lives that exist outside our bodies change the way people relate to each other? This is the focus of our concern. And this is why the focus of the works' simple raw materials with the color and feeling of life, a sense of warmth that is both serene and substantial – a contemporary look with classical textures, a Western feel with the earthy flavor of the East. Though we mold the most primitive of materials, the things we create drift tranquilly across time and space. Our lifestyle products speak, in ways that each of us may interpret differently. Yet their presence creates a feeling of comfort that requires no interpretation.
Culture is the expression of an attitude toward living, and the choice of a way of life. If we awaken to the wonders of visual experience, if inspiration constantly arises, and if because of this we constantly create new objects for the world we live in, what could this be but a source of delight? A state of mind that crosses the boundaries of nationality and culture... that’s the works.
We expect that we will be successful, then we can be more inspired with unlimited sources, then the creation would be consecutive and shared between us.
