When I create a work of art, I try to avoid following a plan as much as possible. This is because, at the beginning of the production process, if the work reflects too much of the image or idea of completion that I have in my mind, it often looks trivial. In order to avoid such a situation, the following process is introduced in the production process. For example, ・Turn top and bottom upside down. When 50-70% of the work is done, we partially or completely fill in the area. Use the lining as the front fabric, or turn the stitching edge out. Sewing together discarded canvases (i.e., failed pieces) to make another piece. Cutting a three-dimensional piece and using it as a two-dimensional piece, or vice versa. In this way, by consciously inserting processes that break the context of the previous work, I aim to create works that I could never have imagined by shifting the final image or form, or by honestly following my random feelings.
