Artist statement
I recognize the world through color, shadow, sound and feeling. The place where I am could never exist without the elements with constitute this world. Some of these things can be touched others, such as air or emotion, cannot. I simply accept these things as they are. I felt that if I recognize more and more, I will get into that feeling but everything escapes me. I would like to make sure that I face these phenomena and what I recognize while I make my works. I mainly fix a fluid movement using water with tile or another material. But now, I would like to expand the limits of the colors that I haven't seen. And also I would like to make a new spectacle appear which I extract from these colors on the material.
