Pebbles in fragments of distant memories became the starting point for the theme of the production, depicting the cycle and permanence of life.

All living things and materials belong to the same universe and contain the fragility and preciousness of life in the process of circulation. It is as if inclusions are incorporated into a crystal that grows over a long period of time.
Projecting this permanence into her works, she dyes the life force that resides in the depths of the eyes, the radiance emitted by the figure that lives its limited life to the fullest, and the traces of life that appear in every corner.

The work is produced in the style of drawing on cloth using the tube drawing technique, one of the dyeing techniques. Once dyed, the color of the cloth cannot be erased, and tsutsubo-gaki is the best method for expressing the artist's feelings at the moment of dyeing.

The main theme of his work is to give form to the presence of something invisible that dwells in visible things.
