2. Work introduction
"I am active mainly in Fukuoka, and mainly develop works about existence.
Existence clearly supports things, but on the other hand, it is extremely vague and never appears before us. By indirectly examining such "things" that we don't know whether they exist or not, even if it is impossible to do so directly, I think we can look at our existence from a different perspective. "

3. Recommended points
I get the impression that the digital touch, the things that appear in the space within the work, and the balance of everything are exquisitely intertwined. I'm intrigued by the textures within the work.
In recent years, he has been active in creating music jackets.
