Talking about his involvement in social business, the career artist says his art is a kind of motivation to drive people's participation in issues like climate change and environmental protection. Although he encourages people to put down their phones and experience his works, he thanks social media for getting young people to his show.

He has about 267,000 followers on Instagram.

The photos shared by him and his followers bring people to his shows, which, in turn, he says, helps to motivate more people to care about the environment.
