In this piece, I revisited one of my earliest explorations of my original “Semi-Relief Color Technique” — Dear Deer — and reimagined it through my latest methods.

The deer has long been regarded as a sacred animal, often seen as a divine messenger. With its elegant antlers and graceful form, it embodies both strength and beauty. For 2025, my main body of work has centered on lotus, a motif that carries profound symbolism: purity, rebirth, and spirituality. The lotus is also deeply sensual, alluring, and visually striking. In this work, I merge the deer with the lotus — a natural harmony that resonates not only in symbolism but also in form and language.

Dear Deer 2025 is rendered in a refined, noble violet tone. In Japan, violet has been considered a sacred color since Prince Shōtoku’s establishment of the “Twelve-Level Cap and Rank System” in the 7th century, where it signified the highest rank. Over centuries, violet has remained a symbol of dignity, reverence, and longevity — an enduring mark of the sacred and the noble.

The convergence of violet, deer, and lotus reflects a sensibility deeply embedded in Japanese culture — a natural attraction to forms and symbols that carry both spiritual weight and aesthetic grace.

Dear Deer 2025 will be on view at my solo exhibition in Kobe from October 25 to November 2. I invite you to experience the work in person and feel its presence directly.
