Work Details
This is a work in which the silhouette of a butterfly emerges three-dimensionally in the center while folding and pasting line by line after cutting paper with words printed on it with holographic foil in the shape of a strip.
・The meaning of THOUGHTS∈ WORDS∈ ACTIONS ∈HABITS∈ CHARACTER∈ DESTINY
It means a message that thought is the source of words, words are the source of action, action is the source of habit, habit is the source of personality, and personality formed in this way is the source of fate.
The fact that even small thoughts and words have so much energy that they can change fate is expressed by likening it to a phenomenon called the butterfly effect.
The mathematical symbol “∈” is read as an element, and it means that it is an element or source.
・What is the butterfly effect
It is derived from American meteorologist Edward Lorenz's 1972 lecture on the concept “Will the flapping of a butterfly in Brazil cause a tornado in Texas?” The butterfly effect is a phenomenon where “a very small event eventually leads to a major event that was never anticipated.”

Born 1980, Shizuoka, Japan. Graduated from Tokyo Asagaya Art College, School of Image Creation in 2007. Started her career in London in 2011 and has exhibited at numerous art fairs and exhibitions in the UK, Tokyo, and the Netherlands. She mainly produces paintings and semi-three-dimensional works based on ‘words/text’. She returned to Japan in 2023 and is currently based in Shizuoka. It is said that humans think about 50,000 thoughts every day, 90% of which are the same as yesterday. Is the world we see through the endlessly repeated thoughts of the unconscious really the truth or reality? With this question as its theme, the work poses a message to the self-perception and manifest consciousness of those who confront it. 1980 Born in Shizuoka, Japan 2001 Study abroad in L.A for 2 years 2007 Graduated from Tokyo Asagaya Art College, School of Image Creation 2011 Moved to London and started a career as an artist 2013 Back to Japan and held a first solo show in Tokyo 2016 Moved to the Netherlands 2023 Back to Japan, live and work in Shizuoka [Award/Prize] 2019 Long listed for Aesthetica Art Prize, Three-Dimensional Design & Sculpture in UK 2014.
