2022 ｜ Before Dawn Series ( Painting Ver.)
Pigment and Foil on Cotton cloth / 綿布,箔, ピグメント
深夜0時から未明にかけての夜明け前に、眠れずにいる人々の居る場所を見つめます。日中を人は集団の一人として生きます。しかし日が沈んでも、人は必ずしも個に還元されるとは限りません。誰かの為に働き、努力し、或いは焼き付いた昼の記憶に苛まれて、社会的要請によって瞼は開かれています。その視座と微かな声を鮮烈な色彩による絵画表現および明滅する音と動きによる映像表現で解釈します。鑑賞者がそれらの内に自らを溶かすことで、溶け切らないその人自身の心の動きと出会うことを願います。
I gaze at places where there are people who are unable to sleep before dawn, from midnight to dawn. People spend most of the day as part of a group. Even though after the sun sets, they are not necessarily live completely as individuals. Some work for someone else and strive, while others are tormented by the daytime memories burned into their brains. It can be said that their eyelids are opened by social demands. Therefore I aspire to depict their viewpoints and tiny voices through vivid colored paintings and blinking sound and video installation. I hope that the viewer will immerse in artworks and encounter their heart-moving.
2021 ｜ DRAWING - Fragments Series
Ball-point-pen, Paper, 91x91cm, 2020 - 2021
一枚の絵を完成させる為に、その取材として、或いは描くこと自体を目的として、何枚もの線画（ドローイング）を描きます。展示されたこれらはある絵の取材として描かれたものもあれば、頭の中の考えを形にする為のものも含まれています。描いている時は完成する未来など見えておらず、不安と恐れと格闘しながら線を引きます。それは人が生きること、或いは場所がその歴史を積み重ねる営為と似ているように思うのです。展示場所の節目となるこの時にささやかな応援の意を込めて出品します。
A number of drawings have been depicted in order to create only one painting. For the purpose of research or for drawing itself. This is the first time she shows her drawings to the public. Some of the drawings in this exhibition were done as research for a particular painting, others were done to give a shape to the ideas in her mind. Whenever she draws lines, she fights with courage against huge anxiety and fear because nobody knows what kind of painting it will be. It seems to her that this is similar to the way people live, or the one places make and walk their history. The exhibition is held at Shibukawa City Museum; this is going to move new place after next year, so it is the last chance to open an exhibition in this place. Shibukawa city is also her hometown. Hope these drawings will be a small gesture of support for everyone involved in this place.

One day, after humanity disappears from the earth. The thermal power plants that propelled modern civilization are gone. The ceiling has fallen and the dust rises high in the air. But suddenly, the ashes of emotions that had settled and accumulated on the floor, akin to the moaning of a former human, swoop up and ignite the burned-out remains of fire that had been beaten down, and the bass begins to pound again on the scarred concrete. The neon lights up. A voiceless voice is heard. The emotionally-charged night comes again.
