「自死」や「慰霊」をテーマに創作を続ける。名古屋学芸大学大学院修了後、学生時代の友人と名古屋で映像制作会社を起業。代表辞任後上京、ゲンロンカオス*ラウンジ新芸術校の第一期生として学んでいた2015年に、交通事故後で心身のバランスを崩していた母親が自死。出棺前に「金環を持った鳥のモチーフ」が浮かび、以後制作される多くの作品で繰り返し登場する彼の表現の核となっている。2021年より「満洲国」を軸に過去の戦争について考えるためのプロジェクトを開始。

Continue to create with the themes of "suicide" and "consolation". After graduating from Nagoya University of Arts and Sciences, he started a video production company in Nagoya with his student friends. After resigning as a representative, he moved to Tokyo, and in 2015, when he was studying as the first student of Genron Chaos * Lounge New Art School, his mother, who had lost his physical and mental balance after a traffic accident, died on his own. A "bird motif with a ring" emerged before the casket, and it is the core of his expression that appears repeatedly in many subsequent works. From 2021, a project to think about past wars centered on "Manchuria" was started.
