Born in 1995. Graduated from Musashino Art University, Faculty of Art and Design, Department of Sculpture in 2019. Based on the theme of modern records and ways of life, he creates works as inventions and proposals that make society easier to live and enjoy. It focuses on everyday choices and values, such as body hair and uneaten food, and develops various expressions such as photographs and drawings of people. In recent years, there has also been interest in electronic work. Main activities include the “SICF22 EXHIBITION Category Winners Exhibition” (Spiral, Tokyo, 2022) and “Independent Taipei” (Taipei Songshan Cultural and Creative Park, Taiwan, 2017). Born in 1995. I lost my mother when I was 6 years old, and then I spent 5 and a half years in Taiwan. His childhood experiences, when death was close to him, had an impact on the production. After returning to Tokyo, he graduated from the Tokyo Metropolitan High School of Arts and Crafts and went on to Musashino Art University, Faculty of Art and Design, Department of Sculpture. After graduation, I lived in Hokkaido for 5 years, and the experience of being in touch with rich nature further refined my perception of life. - The theme of the work ・Modern records ・The way life is ・Inventions that make society easier to live -Introduction of major works ● “Reiwa Photo Earthenware” It is a learning device and letter for future people to learn about the present day while having fun. By encapsulating electronic components and photographs in earthenware, it is possible to record the state of our time and deliver it to the future. Just as we learn from the cyclical lifestyle of the Jomon period, I hope that future people will learn about our time through this earthenware and make use of it in the future. ●Body hair works It shows the freedom to choose “whether you have body hair or not.” Body hair, rain, and wetland plants are drawn with uniform lines, and expressions of body hair are incorporated into paintings, drawings, and photographic pottery. Body hair is originally inherent in humans, and it is thought that by “having or not” it can be “present or not,” it will lead to a reduction in stress and environmental load. Values that are considered ugly have swelled, and beauty has not been overlooked. If we become a society where people can freely make choices, time to worry about wasteful processing will decrease, and life can be used more effectively. People with sensitive skin don't need to suffer from rough skin. There is no denying shaving, but the intention is to infiltrate society with the option of “not having to shave.” ● Food that has just been eaten The reason I photograph food that has just been eaten is to take a deep look at the traces. “Traces of activities to live” are vividly engraved on uneaten food, and when you look directly at it, you can see the desire to eat and the depth of human consumption activity. ●Works using trash Throw away things not just as garbage, but function as materials to know the way of life at that time. With the same intention as Reiwa Photo Earthenware, it aims to be a clue for future people to consider the impact our lifestyle has had on the environment, just as we learn from past relics. ●Photos I take photographs of light, trees, plants, and familiar foods on a daily basis. I've been attracted to things that are usually overlooked, and things that are hard to be the subject of photographs. They greedily collect uneaten food, small insects, scattered leaves, shadows and light fluctuations in trees, and small events in everyday life. ●Drawings of people They draw the mind and signs of existence with minimal lines, and are conscious of capturing the “essential parts” of humans. — Recent Initiatives Incorporating electronic crafting, they are searching for new expressions through the fusion of digital and analog.
