Drawing on Field Stakes and Place

**Artist Statement** I explore the conditions through which existence emerges by working with provisional structures that are precariously sustained through support, connection, and uneven distributions of weight. The lines and structures that appear within my works are not resolved forms, but unstable states suspended between formation and collapse. I use painting as a site for testing the generation of structures and the flow of forces. By extending these investigations into three-dimensional constructions made from wood, wire, fabric, and other materials, I move between surface and space, perception and materiality. Through painting, sculpture, drawing, and photography, I seek moments in which invisible relationships and traces of absence take shape as images. **Born** 2000, Fukuoka, Japan **Education** * 2026 B.F.A., Oil Painting, Tokyo University of the Arts, Tokyo, Japan * 2026–Present M.F.A.
