Statement

People’s evaluations, values and standards are continually influenced by changing conditions. Today’s values are not completely different from yesterday’s, but they adjust to fit current ideas, attitudes and notions of utility and modernity. In contemporary Japanese society as in other cultures, our values have changed in our search for a better life. We find ourselves losing our older and perhaps more peaceful values that were of importance in the past. We can observe how the modern world has altered this relationship and how this affects our lives. Modern developments have caused environmental destruction; altering our needs, desires and values. Thus this changing relationship of humans and nature has become the main inspiration of my art.

人と自然の関わりの中に見える人々の価値観の変遷、意識の変容をテーマにしています。人々の価値観や視点は様々な現在の状況の影響下にあります。昨日の価値が今日は一変とは言わないまでもそれは常に現在の有効性にあわせて少しずつ変化しています。 その変化に飲み込まれるように消えて行きそうな、もうすでに失ってしまったものの断片や痕跡を描き留めたいと考えるものです。
