"Contemporary" X "Tradition"
My art evolves as I search through my roots and history of art.
Finding beauty in the merging spot of "now" and "then" inspires me to blend "Contemporary" and "Japanese"
- that is continuously fluid.
By artistic practice, I can be free to be nobody at the same time be part of everybody.
