Apart from scavenging for raw materials in junkyards and recycling centers, most of the materials used in the sculptures were sourced from scrapped car engines.

Nearly a decade ago, he purchased nearly 200 obsolete car engines.

"Parts of these engines are exquisite industrial products, and the original intention of collecting them was to use them as materials for creating artworks," he says.

Currently, about one-third of the engines have been dismantled and used for his creations.

When he was younger, he enjoyed riding motorcycles, so he has made more than 100 model motorcycles using the engine parts.

He has a passion for an industrial aesthetics and seeks to use his craft to give new life to discarded industrial products.

"In this fast-paced world, what we have in abundance is waste," he says.

His sculptures of a dog and a monkey are primarily made of discarded bike parts from a recycling center.
