With a special fascination for the contrast between Japanese and Western writing, the artist finds beauty in the seemingly unnatural aspects of Japanese characters for those in the West. The unintelligible ideograms, words without spaces, and vertical, right-to-left writing style all contribute to a sense of mystery and intrigue. Each ideogram, originally representing an object, serves as a connection to the past and a way to return to the origin by letting the character become a tangible thing once more. This unique perspective on language and representation is what defines the artist's calligrams.
Having been influenced by both Western education and Japanese roots, the artist finds themselves in a unique position, feeling like a bridge between two worlds. This blend of cultural backgrounds creates a strong desire to share and validate their feelings through their work, serving as a conduit for others to connect with their own emotions. As a member of REBELWORDS.ORG, a collective of artists focused on combining poetry with visual art and unconventional publications, the artist finds a supportive community that aligns with their creative vision.
