Nation: Japan

Genre: Installation art

Born in Kochi, Japan, lives and works in Berlin, Germany.

Infinite concentric worlds form a totality, entirelyboundless, no beginning, no end. Worlds that merge into one, woven by theinexorable rhythms of micro-macro structure form a quilt of the gigantic andinfinitesimal. Within these lines, cells and structures… the void–nothingness–the in-between… is just as real. 

I begin somewhere; with colour or graphite on the emptinessof white or a tangible object, the cells, roots, lines and veins manifest, asif on their own. I work toward the abstract; the clear boundaries of an objectdisappearing. In the end, foreground, background, coloursand shapes oscillate–eluding detection. As my created images grow beyond themedium, so too my installations flow throughout the room–objects, organic formsarise, growing from themselves.
