Painting has been a way for me to transform aspects of my life that cannot be put into words, such as childhood memories and experiences, personal conflicts, and shifting phases of life, using color and brushstroke. I was given the opportunity to put on this large-scale exhibition when the then-director of Karuizawa’s Sezon Museum of Modern Art, Hideo Namba, took notice of my work. I wanted to express the sense of “now” that is felt through the experience of living, with all its irrationality, contradictions and frictions, and hoped that these attitudes themselves develop into paintings. I selected pieces that were produced between 2005 and 2007 and serve as clues to who I am.
