(The image at the beginning is also a part of this work.)

I made the tools that came from my hand.

I'm interested in people's hands.

Simply beauty as a form and the suppleness when you have a relationship with things.

I thought that the way to realize and convey those charms in a certain way was to draw pictures, shape them, and incorporate them into life as tools.

"hands" as visuals and "hands" when they are made with functions.

They aimed to stand gently in our lives, as if they were someone close to us.

What are shapes, shapes, shapes, and expressions for graphic designers?

I wanted to pursue such a thing, so I tried my graduation work.

We propose this series of processes itself as a new form of graphic design, whether flat or three-dimensional.

There are several Japanese phrases such as "insect where insects are bad" and "insects know" that appear.

I think these are explanations of changes and predictions of unclear reasons for insects.

I was fascinated by the humorousness of the idea of thinking that ancient Japanese people perceive invisible things as "insects" and the strength of trying to face feelings by verbalization.

The work I created is an image of a fictional insect that rampages in a person's stomach and affects people's feelings.

The motif is based on experiences and what I have seen, which would have influenced my way of thinking and personality.

If there is a shape in an insect that causes a change in feelings or foresight, I think it looks like this.

As people live, there is a difference in the selection of moments.

There is good or bad for each person.

No matter how small the choice is, no matter how large it is, it is impossible to determine the good bad for each choice.

The aperture, which is a forging technique, lays raw on the steel plate.

The tension feels tight when touched, but it makes you feel somewhat warm.

Taking advantage of this nature, I made the theme of "a person chooses something, no good or bad for that choice."

When the thread picks the tip and drops it on the floor, crawls while turning, adheres to the window with raindrops as if there is a destination, and when the rain rises, it suddenly entangles with a tree branch somewhere .

All of them appear as icons, and at the same time the thread also plays a role like a net that catches what comes next.

I write down what I have seen as words.

They are accumulated as subjective sentences in the order in which they look at, but when they try to paint them, they gradually disperse, tangle, or create a blank space.

Then the sights that I would certainly have been present lose their names.
