Work Details

This work suggests that the character may be watching all of us as well. The rough, textured surface and the framed composition give the painting the appearance of a page from a picture book. Through this presentation, the character seems to quietly observe the viewer from within the world of the image.

Hajikaku-chan is a character that reflects the discomfort or desire towards my gender; beginning with drawing, I continue to depict my internal conflict through Hajikaku-chan, gaining hints from the distance between myself and the character. In my practice, I pay particular attention to the expression of lines that derives from drawing, and the gradation characteristic to oil paints.

My feelings of admiration, desire and helplessness towards gender, became rooted deeply inside of me and began to have a shape without my knowing. These then manifested as a character – this is Hajikaku-chan. In the unstable understanding and familiarity, that Hajikaku-chan is a complete stranger although somewhat resembling of myself, by confronting it, I give shape to the irrepressible feelings that are inside of me.

Actively producing, organizing, and designing visual identities for solo and group exhibitions.
