Work Analysis
He has a style of creating videos that are focused on transformation of
humans and natures.Most of his famous works used human figures combined
with water or fire to create a video art that transforms between irregular shapes
and human shapes. He also used a combination of lights and shadows
in order to make his works more amazing. By using almost no sounds and colors,
his works are very mysterious and interesting that they are always caught
the audiences' attention. He is more focused on the telling stories by watching it,
most of his works are done with very few colors or just black & white which he
doesn't need much to express his art.

Work Analysis
Her video arts are mostly focused on humans and natures. Her style is
to create repeated video arts that express relaxation feelings and experiences
by combining visuals, colours, and sounds together. She wants the audiences
to spend as long as possible watching her work while relaxing at the same time.
She created many art installations by literally using the interior walls of the buildings
as a screen and then project her videos on them to create a new environment
for the whole room.
