Without Thinking No.15

This work depicts the regularity of our unconscious mind. The lumpy texture in this work shows the earth, the parts blurred with water use water and lakes, and the square objects use wood, and are inspired by natural stones and minerals.

The shape of the land in this work is formed by tracing it to a logarithmic spiral, and a four-square object is placed at the center of the logarithmic spiral. A logarithmic spiral is a shape frequently observed in nature.

Even in the natural world, which appears to have been formed by accident or randomly, it probably follows a certain regularity.

It showed that we unknowingly repeat our lives based on rules without realizing it.

The wooden cube standing on the screen symbolizes “inevitability within chance” and “order contained in the unconscious” lurking in the natural world. The regular shapes seen in minerals and natural stones are rare orders that appear in chaotic nature. Inspired by that figure, this cube is placed in the work as a “miracle shape” that appears after countless choices and events overlap.

A term coined by this writer. It is a word coined to express deep, clear blue like sapphire and a calm, serene atmosphere. For that sound, I dared to choose Japanese and superimpose images of color and mind

When I first started drawing this series, the subject was “nature.”

The lumpy matière on the screen symbolizes the earth, and the soft layer that oozes symbolizes the flow of water.

It was close to my senses, evoking “memories of scenery” within me.

However, as production continued, the depiction of nature gradually began to be linked to human emotions, time, and philosophy.

Hard strata turn into “strongly engraved memories,”

The ooze of water leads to “thoughts and feelings that flow and do not return,”

And the “serenity” born in nature overlapped with my own inner serenity.

If you look at it superficially, this work is an abstract landscape based on imagination.

However, traces of my own life flow, memories, and thoughts have sunk into it.

Before I knew it, drawing nature was supposed to depict humans —

I think that is the quiet change and change of meaning that underlies this work.
