about

My works are based on the theme of what it means to "exist".

In this age of remarkable technological development, including AR and VR, I wonder if our intuitive sense of 'existence' is under threat. It is now time to look with scepticism.

Put on a pair of VR goggles and you see things that seem to be right in front of you. Then, when you remove the goggles, it disappears. I think many people have had such experiences.

So, was it an fantasy or a fiction?

You can touch these fantastic things with a special glove. You can certainly feel that it is there. However, it is something that fleetingly disappears before your eyes when you remove the device.

But does that mean that we can declare it to be a fiction?

For example, if we were to deprive ourselves of the senses of sight and touch in some way, the things we think of as certain realities would also fleetingly disappear.

Can we really call such ephemeral things reality?

Since before I entered primary school, I have been vaguely wondering why I am here and why the world exists. It is a question about existence that has rightly troubled philosophers and scientists of all ages and cultures.

I am sure that many of us have thought about similar questions when we were young.

I am one of those people who has been asking myself that question to this day.

I am showing my own version of 'about existence' through my artworks here.

CONCEPT OF ART WORKS

The "empty series" I have developed so far is based on the motif of " wave".

The reason why I used the adjective 'empty' in the title is because I believe that all things, including this work, are not filled with essence or contents.

So where is the contents?

In the case of this work, it is the knot between the object as a work of art and you as a viewer. And I, the maker, am part of it, and in fact, many more things are involved. It is the relationship of the knot between all things that is the content, the meaning and the being.

The "wave" motif is a simple expression of the fact that nothing is constant, and it also plays a very important role in quantum mechanics, which describes the smallest unit of the world. It may be no exaggeration to say that the world is made of "waves".

I hope that you will look closely at the "relationships" that are formed in the work.
