Rhythm of Life (LL_1)

Her works, meticulously crafted using threads, aim to faithfully reflect the world around us—including the connections between people, and between people and the world itself. After majoring in fashion design at Musashino Art University, she worked as a 3D CG creator before becoming a contemporary artist. Soon after her debut, she held her first solo exhibition in Paris and has since been actively exhibiting internationally. From 2006 to 2013, she lived and worked as an artist in Shanghai. In recent years, she has challenged herself with experimental creations, continually developing new series of works. She has exhibited extensively in Tokyo, Shanghai, and throughout Japan, China, Taiwan, Europe, and the United States. She currently resides in Saitama Prefecture. 1974　Born in Japan 1997　Graduated from Musashino Art Univ.
