Journey of Encounters

In the stillness of our everyday lives, countless unexpected "encounters" quietly await—like the fleeting glimmer of light or a sudden breeze brushing past the body.

This exhibition is an attempt to give form to those ephemeral intersections of time and perception.

Through motifs such as the faint shadows of cherry blossoms, residual impressions of human presence, and the quiet figure of a deer breathing in the depths of a forest,

I seek to capture moments of coincidence and layer them upon the canvas—

transforming the invisible into particles of pigment.

Using an airbrush, I gently apply the three primary colors—red, blue, and yellow—in soft, mist-like layers. Deliberately leaving small gaps within the composition,

I allow silhouettes to endlessly emerge and dissolve. This void-like cycle mirrors the life of cherry blossoms—blooming, falling, and budding once more—and invites the viewer to reflect on the beauty of impermanence, or mono no aware.

As my own outline dissolves into the field of light and shadow, the image gradually transforms into a constellation of shifting colors—floating, flickering, ungraspable.

What you see here is a single moment in an endless journey. Just as pigments overlap, blur, and vanish, we too are continually transformed by the encounters we experience.

If this exhibition becomes a small signpost guiding you toward your next encounter,

that alone brings me deep contentment.
