Profileプロフィール
Time, continuing from past to future, is full of mystery in it’s eternity.
In nature under the universe, there have been plants, animals and human beings.
Being there huge number of lives on the earth, they have been keeping coexistence
with each other in delicate balance.
Now, threatening of life is happening next to next in the world, war, illness, accidents etc.
Here, I like to consider how to deal with life.
Seeds are blown and carried to here and there to sustain their lives to future. I express eternal life in the shape of seed, plant, wishing they become forest some day.
To create my works, I take it most importance on appearing texture.
