BIO
Contemporary artist based in Tokyo, Japan.
“My art is a philosophical endeavor that reinterprets the subtle dissonances of contemporary life through a distinctly Japanese aesthetic, traversing diverse materials and forms.”
I develop multimedia expressions that span lifescapes, organic materials, and technology, aiming to bring new perspectives and shifts in perception to the viewer.
In 2009, I paused my practice to focus on the service-oriented application of art. Returning in 2024, I was honored with two grand prizes in Japan that same year. Through collaborations with educational institutions and nonprofit organizations, I am also cultivating new relationships with society.
