I illustrate people with color pencils.
\nI do not want to express people, but I just do my thoughts and feelings in the form of people.
\nA feeling of “blockage” that makes you feel like you are about to suffocate
\nand a “feeling of emptiness” that makes you feel like you are in there but somehow slipped out.
\nI feel that these two conflicting emotions have always been inside of me.
\nThe “blockage” of a person pushed into the screen.
\nThe “emptiness” that dwells in unpainted hair and clothes,
\nleaving the background color which is overlaid on the base.
\nAnother “blockage” created by cutting out a “blockaded” person.
\nSince 2019, I have been producing works with the theme of this “blockage and emptiness” .
\nI feel that this feeling that I have been staring at personally
\nhas been spread all over the world since 2020.A feeling of blockage and emptiness
\nCrouching in the middle.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
