Every object including human being has its content, border, and space which surrounds that object. However those distinctions are not always totally clear. 

We feel sometimes that we are rather open and integrated into surroundings. But sometimes the border between us and surroundings are strong and we are isolated. The borders have changing tensions on them and it creates the fluid density in the air. What I think interesting in transparent objects is that their tensions and presence show many different aspects depending on light, and create rich relation with whole space.

Process

During the long process of sculpturing, there is the moment that a lump of material turns into something "living" suddenly. I might continue working with sculpture to experience it again and again. 

長い彫刻のプロセスの中、ただのマテリアルの固まりが”魂を持った何か”に変わる瞬間がある。それをまた見たいがために作り続けているのかもしれない。

Painting 2

The moment of completion always comes suddenly. It is like the ends of small stories in daily life. 

完成の瞬間はいつも突然にやってくる。小さな物語の終わりと似ている。

Painting

I can never paint same painting again. 
It's all right. Life is also like that. 

同じ絵は二度と描けない。
それでいい。時間が経つというのはそういうことだから。
