"War and Peace," conceived in April 2022, is an artwork that grapples with the concepts of the legitimacy and justice of war during the escalation of the Russo-Ukrainian conflict. Amidst the turmoil that unfolded in February of the same year, this work emerges as a reflective critique and an introspective examination of warfare.
Artist wear the ghillie suit tied with the party poppers, and make the ghillie suit transform into an allegory for the duplicity of conflict-the celebration of some, juxtaposed against the desolation of others. The act of triggering the poppers punctuates the silence with eruptions reminiscent of gunfire, a sonic manifestation of both the violence of war and the revelry it entails for those who profit from its spoils. At the same time, the artist try to reminder that beneath the veneer of celebration, the specter of war looms, threatening to dissolve the precarious balance between life and death, joy and sorrow.
"War and Peace" represents the artist's hope for tranquility amidst chaos, an aspiration for an epoch where humanity triumphs over conflict, and once poppers triggering symbolize celebration of peace, not the cacophony of war.

During the performance, the artist was stopped by the school staff because he did not report to the school in advance (even though Central Saint Martins is known as the most rebellious art school in the world).
