Artist Statement
Dialogue with oneself, dialogue with others, dialogue with nature...
Various "dialogues" create artworks that lead to the new "dialogues."
And then, those "dialogues" lead to creation of artworks.
This whole chain is art I think of. As an artist, my roll is not only to create artworks but also to give the essence of art to any kind of people and situations.
