The paintings are a collection of "bubbles" depicting water creatures such as dolphins and jellyfish.The painting materials are acrylic paint and pen.
The bubbles disappear in the flow of water and form as they disappear, expressing both the transience and strength of life.It is the "brightness of a moment" of life.
The two extremes stand out from each other like complementary colors.The creature portrays the "existence" and the "non-existence" of being both dangerous.
Based on this "self-image", a graduation project at a university created the "shell" of living things on Japanese paper.
It is a work based on the concept of "a reminder of the existence of living things."
Later, the concept was transformed into painting, and the existence and non-existence of living things was at stake.
