Her philosophy is 'language as art'. Development of technology advance her art work very much. For example LED technology make her art work more bigger. She also communicate with citizens by her art work. She give some messages and get comment about it. Her text are very simple but has powerful meanings. It contains a lot of things such as social and politics. It makes modern people to wake up from insensitivity about text and communication.
