About My Work

The reason why I came to face art head-on was because I was forced to face myself seriously.
To doubt myself and to examine art.

Art is hard to explain and takes a lot of time.
"You have to find your answers."
What becomes interesting is when you express it differently or indirectly.

The above is my favorite quote from the late Teiji Horio, whom I respect.

In a world where information transmitted through SNS and the expansion of expression and communication of will through digitalization have become commonplace, I believe there is still much room for expression.
