I am a multidisciplinary artist in Brooklyn, New York. I was born and raised in the countryside of Japan surrounded by mountains, green tea fields, and the Pacific Ocean. Influenced by organic materials and nature, I draw animals, lines and shapes mimicking natural elements and life such as the wind, plants and the ocean. For my abstract landscape, I use acrylic or oil on canvas. I transfer images of my memories into simple geometric shapes such as squares, circle or lines. Specially, I draw many circles influenced by Enso (Circle in Zen). The shape symbolizes life, sun, light, spirit, peace, infinity, interminable, perfection, and continuance for me.

Also my interest in making installations is due to my desire to engage viewers in all of their senses: sight, hearing, smell, touch and sometimes even taste. I also enjoy making installations because there are many possibilities to incorporate all kinds of media. For example the buildings in my Factitious series address how humans are the only animal that create straight lines and artificial objects, turnings such things eventually into urban environments. The eggshells in Precarious also pertain to human life, in that they are fragile but also full of mystery, potential and everyday magic, provided they are taken care of.

All of my works somehow pertain to human life, society and nature. I love to collaborate with dancers and sound musicians for improvisational performances. It is a physical but a spiritual approach. In Flakes of Dream, I played a negative side of human, like crushing dream, and interacted with a dancer in positive side. We were seeking our relationship using the installation at the gallery space.
