I have been contemplating about people’s sense of atmosphere under the theme of “coexistence of people and nature.”

When a person lingers in a certain space, the atmosphere of that space changes. Could that be because the atmosphere of the space changed due to the atmosphere of the person, or did the space change the person’s atmosphere, or did the interaction between the person and the space cause the person to perceive the invisible atmosphere ? Then what is“atmosphere?” People tend to be conscious of what they can see and what is happening in front of them, but matters are constructed by many invisible influences, and we sense many of them subconsciously. And that means that we are capturing a moment from an untraceable past far beyond the history of human and nature's activities, and which is moving through the present and into the future.

I view these invisible moments as “atmosphere.” And then as it overlaps with my own memories, I notice that my consciousness expands into the vast expanse of the subconscious world. In the seemingly graspable yet ungraspable atmosphere, I have attempted to transform this feeling of wandering between the boundaries of the conscious and subconscious into my work through the relationship of objects and space in sculptures.

The statues which combine the handcrafted and 3D digital data technology, and the raden (mother-of-pearl inlays) acrylic sculptures, Dry lacquer statue and lacquer technique of traditional Japanese technique, as well as projects in which the sculptures and space are made to reflect the relationship of houses and towns and the videos of those works, have all been created to extract the properties of materials and techniques, mainly the layers of light and time. Through my works, I hope that it will be an opportunity to broaden and cherish the subconscious mind that cannot be expressed in words, and to think together about the grand theme of "coexistence of people and nature."
