“The Carp lived in this swamp since his birth, everyday life goes on like that: contented and boring. The creatures in the swamp have long accepted that lifestyle. Not him. He doesn’t understand: Are they really living or just existing?
Ignoring the discouragement, Carp is determined to swim upstream. He has such a big dream, so why does he have to be tied up in that murky swamp? Once, twice and three times, he overcame the formidable wave, shaking himself to become a majestic Dragon.

“I love creating items of fascination out of wood. I love being able to lose myself in the moment when crafting an object from raw materials into something functional or decorative. My work is always evolving and creating is an on-going process. Wood is such an enjoyable warm medium from which to create imaginative pieces! I don’t just make things, I breathe life into the things I make. My sweat, my passion, and my emotions.”
