Kawabe Kumi

Born in 1997. Graduated from Tama Art University, Department of Information Design, Media Art Course. “KAIKA TOKYO AWARD 2024” was selected.

I draw graphics using canvas as a medium. This is because I thought from the designer's point of view that the weight and presence of the message captured by the act of “drawing” is completely different from printed matter on paper, which first becomes a reality due to a machine.

I have consistently used “words” born from myself as my work. That term includes the nobility of transforming unresolved worries and unsatisfied desires into advanced, realizable goals and aiming higher. Also, I am focusing on how to make the desire inherent in one's own frustration come true as a beautiful word and as a beautiful character set.
