Artist Statement

"My art is inspired by traditional Japanese culture (ukiyo-e, kabuki, folklore) interpreted through the medium of contemporary street art. Ancient folktales told through faces layered with florals carry both the excitement of new discovery, and the comforting familiarity of my original home. I draw on these immutable themes as a source of quiet strength."

私のアートは、日本の伝統文化 (浮世絵、歌舞伎、民話) からひらめきを得て、 現代文化のミューラルアート（壁画）を通して表現されています。

顔と花柄を重ねて描かれた民話が、新たな発見への感動と馴染み深い故郷への思いを伝えます。これらの不変のテーマが私の静かな力の源です。

この激動の時代に、私の作品が人々の心のオアシスになり、新しい世代の間で伝統文化への愛が復活するきっかけにもなってくれることを願っています。
