Like infinity cell division of living things
Like layered thoughts and emotions of one's mind
Like the stars and planets in space
We are constantly changing and things are always moving
One fine delicate line is drawn
from another line connected and
it gives birth to another line
The drawing gradually expands from the starting point
Every line is connected to another line, everything is connected to everything else.
Things are organic and geometric at the same time.
It is like an imagery or a sample of on going cell division of the universe.
Each line is a thought and an emotion, and or a feeling, the whole drawing is an imagery of human mind. If each line is a cell of a life, then whole view is a life. If each small line is a unique life on the earth, then the whole view is the universe.
Nothing emerges, nor comes out of the blue as far as I know.
Things exist, existed, and will exist, and they are connected to each other, like my drawing in front of you.
I am still in the process of examining the connections between everything, from one art'st's point of view, using my art and my life.
My drawing will become a connection between you and me, when you encounter it, when you own it, or when you remember it in your heart, and you will be another connection and media or like the one line of the drawing, when you talk about it to another person.
We are all individual, we are all part of everything, and each of us is a medium at the same time.

ARTIST STATEMENT
My work reflects my everyday life,
not like a mirror does,
but like the surface of a ripping pond.
My art is rooted in an interest in human behavior: the gestures, actions, and habits that derive from both conscious and unconscious states of mind. I was born and raised on the outskirts of Tokyo, Japan, where my early life was shaped by a mixture of the urban and the suburban—a place where the natural world intertwined with the city. This environment left a lasting impression on my creative practice, and the dialogue between nature and urban life continues to be a central theme in my work. Growing up between the boundless world outside and the invisible boundaries that exist between people, I came to believe in pluralism—or something close to the idea of “being between and both”—where everything is connected to everything else. This became one of the core ideas that I continue to explore. My work serves as a pathway through which I investigate and push the boundaries between humanity and nature, inside and outside, and self and other.
Since childhood, I have been fascinated by human beings as unique creatures who live and die, imagine, and create. I have long been interested in intimate, human-made spaces such as windows, bathtubs, and fish tanks, and these subjects have remained among the major themes of my work. To me, the window is a symbol of human nature. Around 2011, I began painting windows that allow viewers to look into interior spaces, establishing them as a central motif in my practice. These paintings challenge the conventional idea of the window. I seek to create opportunities for viewers to question, overturn, and reconsider their assumptions and beliefs. Traditionally, windows allow us to look outward from within while bringing light and air into a space. I am interested in creating painted windows through which viewers instead look inward, into different worlds and states of being.
Before oil painting, I was always drawing. Drawing, especially abstract way, I was already good at it without learning unlike oil painting which requires some level of knowledges, . My endless abstract drawing Blue Infinity is an attempt to visualize the boundless emotions and thoughts that unfold within the human mind, expanding and multiplying like living cells.
My work is rooted in an interest in both conscious and unconscious human behavior, as observed throughout history and everyday life. By observing society and depicting human nature from a certain distance, I aim to offer perspectives on things that are relatively unknown, unrealized, hidden, unspoken, prohibited, or forgotten, yet nevertheless present within daily existence. If love is the essence of life, then life is the essence of my art.
Creating art is a way for me to re-examine and explore the ideas I have encountered and come to believe in. I begin with the places closest to me and look deep within myself in order to explore society, human nature, and the universe, which I believe are all interconnected.
There are many overtones, personal dialogues, and symbols within my paintings. My aspiration is to create work that is both sensual and psychic—work that affects the minds, emotions, beliefs, dreams, and imaginations of viewers. I believe that visual art is one of humanity’s most powerful languages and a place of realization and discovery.
Lastly, as a Japanese person who grew up in Japan, in a Japanese family, surrounded almost entirely by Japanese people—as someone whose whole world was once in my homeland—I hope to continue creating as a Japanese artist throughout my life, sharing with others the values, experiences, and perspectives I have received there through both myself and my work.
