Born in Mie Prefecture in 1997. Graduated from the master course at Kyoto University of the Arts in 2022.
The shadow under the sun, sounds of woods in the wind, temperature in sensation, and odor of air.
By saving the trifles and routines in everyday life in drawings and photos, and by substituting them for silkscreen and painting, “instants” are captured on screen. The work has a feel of floating like a daydream, sophisticated lines, and soft colors.

 

She has been creating work using daily casual moments or scenes as subjects, implying the lyrical element and recomposing those into several methods or textures on her work’s surface since she was in college.
She creates the drawings based on pictures that she takes of ephemeral scenes such as shadows that appear in sunlight, sounds of trees that are shaken by the wind, the temperature felt by skin, or smells of the air and converts those into smooth lines of the silkscreen, rhythmical light-touched brush strokes, or soft colors on the canvas. And different textures such as glossy surfaces of work with resin, matte surfaces with acrylic, or particulate colored surfaces made of base materials are efficiently placed in one work, and it has several visual experiences in the picture. The attitude moving towards completing the artwork by placing the physical process shows the artist’s intention of trying to grab the ephemeral, untouchable existence.
