While respecting diverse aspects of individual origins, Choi incorporates certain clues to his interrogations of those origins into the present time. It is an attempt to redefine the fifty odd years of his own memories as one origin.

He tries to pave the way for a clear understanding of the diverse aspects of all the concerns. By making his work a natural space for the documentation of the most intimate and personal emotions, anxieties, and delights of everyday life, he reduces it into its fundamental elements, and presents it as Conditional Planes.

His process begets an anthropomorphous form–in this sense, it could be a genetic program that operates deep within our minds. When he encounters a certain subject and attempts to maximize its potential to that of a life form, he emphasizes its useful/positive functions and selectively uses all of the human senses.

Relying on reminiscences of his past, he composes his work with emotions that may instinctively convey the details of the medium–soft and tactile sensations, coldness, and the warmth of sunshine etc. - and with subtle colors that remind us of certain images.

He does not represent these matters in a specific form; however, his compositions are closely associated with omnipresent matters (e.g.air) and everyday life (e.g. cooking), and his emotions emerge as a response to them.
