Statement:

Art — and sculpture in particular — has always been a part of my life. As a child, I spent countless hours in my father’s architecture studio, surrounded by sketches, models, drafting tools, and the quiet focus of creative work. His intuitive understanding of space, light, and proportion has profoundly shaped the way I approach my own artistic practice today.

I’ve always been drawn to the abstract and the essential — to artistic languages that are both powerful and restrained. In my sculptures, I seek a dialogue of contrasts: between the linear and the organic, the geometric and the asymmetrical, the static and the mobile. These tensions give rise to forms that seem to grow, expand, or shift — as if caught in a moment of silent transformation.

I often give my sculptures a calm, raw, and rustic surface — not to decorate, but to let the form speak. My practice is also deeply connected to tradition, especially the philosophies of imperfection and impermanence that resonate within Japanese aesthetics. The concept of wabi-sabi — finding beauty in the incomplete, the fragile, and the ephemeral — reflects my own approach to sculpture. I embrace irregularities and subtle traces of process, allowing them to become part of the work’s character rather than something to be hidden. In this way, each piece carries both strength and vulnerability, echoing the imperfect perfection that defines our human experience.
