My work explores the realm of reality and fantasy. I create imagery inspired by everyday experiences and scenes and visualize them into drawings and sculptures. In my work, I deal with recollections of life, dream, hidden desires and irrational human behaviours. My work also addresses the issues of the border between the private and public, handlings of human emotions and questions of correctness that are deeply rooted in Japanese society. Often these themes are combined into drawings that feature dramatic scenes with surreal occurrences and unexplainable orders of things. The grey tone of the drawings and sculptures establishes the dream-like quality. It also suggests notions of nostalgia and detachment from the past.

Born in 1976, Kawasaki, Japan. Lives and works in Paphos, Cyprus
