I came to Tokyo from Oita when I was 18 years old. For me, a country person, the gap with Tokyo is huge. I think I should get used to it early and become ordinary. In order to enter the university, I worked for half a year to save money and studied for the exam for half a year, but I kept failing. After many twists and turns, I was admitted to Musashino Art University. During this period, other high school classmates were enjoying college life, but as a social person, I was repeating studies and working at the same time, so I prided myself on quickly mastering the manners of a social person. This is the only self-confidence that can be maintained while repeating studies, and it is also a common gain from participating in social gears. After becoming a student, as a social person, I conveyed "generally yes" to my classmates of similar age with an almost imposing kindness. However, after he was admitted to college, his high school classmates started working, got married, had children, and soon started to have their own family. Once, when I returned to my hometown of Oita, my lifestyle was completely different from that of my peers, and I was labeled unusual by my classmates. At this time, the "ordinaryness" that I had acquired as a member of the social gear came back like a dart and was corroded.

For me like this, the act of painting is closely related to maintaining my own existence, but when I deviate from society, it is connected with the current production together with the sense of incongruity. That is to say, things like the social norms of "ordinary" are shared and will make our lives easier. On the other hand, the "ordinary" acquired by each is slowly strangled like cotton wool when they collide. Tighten our necks.

An artist called Female Peak Hour said this in a joke on THE MANZAI at the end of the year. "Because of the typhoon, when homeless people evacuate to gymnasiums, everyone says it is dangerous, so homeless people cannot evacuate to gymnasiums. Homeless people are not among us. There are many people who are not in Japan. A transparent person among everyone."

The categorization and difference in sense of fellowship, standpoints and ways of life that we unknowingly acquire are easy to understand, and truth be told, being aware of all people, living with equal respect, as long as they aren't quite saintly, is far more than one The abilities that humans possess I feel are all incapable of living correctly, also like humans. However, after reading this paragraph, I feel that such transparent people who cannot be seen by our own eyes can indeed be remembered by each of us.

Then, when judging something, in many cases, it is based on one's own experience and information. Advantages are disadvantages, and things will have great personality changes depending on the way they are received. I think judgment has a lot to do with your own life and the way you have lived your life so far. If there is an element that is not easy to judge, it is the unorganized noise needed for the future, and this may be a hidden clue of a transparent person invisible to the eyes.

The figures I paint convey the judgment of the viewer like a mirror. This would also be opposed to things like "ordinary" and "transparent people" who construct the invisible depths of themselves. I think my paintings are the appreciators themselves, and the result of their judgment is our values living in this era.
