about me (→Japanese)

Concept

I create artwork on the theme of "gathering".

It all started when I read Leo Leoni's picture book "Swimmy" when I was in elementary school.
The story is about the main character, Swimmy, who was able to swim in the wide ocean by imitating big fish, along with the fish who could not get out from behind the rocks because they were afraid of big fish.
The big fish that he imitated created a new existence and world. Through this story, I found the act of gathering fascinating.

There are many events, both good and bad, in the process and results of gathering and accumulating.The individual charms and times that have formed them are also very different.
However, there are few opportunities to learn about the backgrounds of these events, and I feel that people often have only superficial or universal understandings and interpretations of these events.

I wanted to consider the balance between respect for the individual and society in the world from the act of "gathering".

I am working on a series of "TYPE" as one of the ways of expression.
