An auspicious Kannon with eight graceful hands. The sun and moon, flowers and birds—rest gently in her palms as she smiles with quiet compassion. Within her joined hands lies the Earth, held in gratitude. Her crossed legs form a reclining “8”—the symbol of infinity.

The cherry tree that had watched over my family since I was a child. The warbler heralding spring, and the goat—like a messenger of the gods—perhaps they were signs of a gentle farewell. Though the tree has been neatly cut and stands no more, its presence still blooms brightly within my heart. Thank you.
“ 宇美 -Umi- ” [410 × 318 mm, 2024]

In the rhythm of the dancing waves, the back of a dragon sparkles. Reflected in a glass of water are the image of Mount Fuji and the afterglow of the setting sun. As the water deity awakens, the sea and sky become one. Far offshore, the light of a solitary lighthouse shines with unwavering resolve, guiding us back to the homeland where life began.
“ Life this Moment ” [530 × 652 mm, 2024]
龍が眠る湯に身をゆだね、今を生きる時間。湯気はやがて龍雲となり、空へと昇っていく。眺める夕日と、窓辺に揺れる鳥のおもちゃ。背には、鳥居と龍の鱗。火照った体を癒す、カクテルの一滴。龍と水に導かれるような人生。風になびくヤシの木のそば、てんとう虫が幸運を乗せ舞い降りる。
Soaking in the sacred waters where a dragon sleeps—a moment of living fully in the now. The rising steam becomes a dragon-shaped cloud, drifting into the sky. A setting sun in view, and a bird-shaped toy swaying by the window. On my back: a torii gate and dragon scales. A single drop of cocktail soothes my heated body. A life guided by dragons and water. Beside a palm tree swaying in the wind, a ladybug of fortune gently lands.

A virtual world wrapped in silence, where no animals exist. If humans were simply light-emitting plants—rooted quietly in a blue-filled Earth, sensing the beauty of simply “being.” A single presence stands still, neither speaking nor moving, dissolving into everything.

the very way we bloom becomes a gaze of life itself, quietly speaking to us.

Emotional, creative, destructive, and utterly pure—the other self that lives within. In the solitude of the studio, I face this hidden presence head-on. Listening to its rising voice, I move my brush, layering color upon color. Each session becomes a dialogue with the inner beast,
breathing life into the canvas.
