Artist
An attitude of respect for objects is to find a place for each individual that is not based on order, superiority, inferiority, or size, and to dare to dissipate evaluation.
In the endless process of trying to put things that cannot be equated into equivalent values, feelings that do not belong to either emptiness or love sprout up. In the repetition of this activity, how can things stand next to each other and line up? And should they be lined up?
In this work, while treating the objects as individuals on a flat surface, I will give them a shared relationship. As they relate to each other, line up, and become connected, the unshared individual appears. The more we wish to be together, and the more we are involved, the more our unique individuality grows in inverse proportion. In the midst of this inevitable disparity, I am gazing aimlessly at the place where things that move incessantly should be.
