Sei presents a new perspective and flares to iconic imagery with a conscious yet humorous message on social or political issues. Sei has been able to lead conceptual design projects and develop new ideas of automation and aesthetic through various visual mediums using vibrant color with a vast range of mixed material allowing him to develop a relationship with his work.
