Numerous tubes that stretch all the way to the end of the body This body, where various things come and go through the blood, This body is always hot. Hot wax runs over the pure white cloth, layering it layer by layer, The shape of the body is what you see in your mind's eye, The body is like a human being that has been formed from nothing. It is like a human being being being formed from an empty mother body over a period of about 40 weeks. I create my works using a technique called "wax dyeing," in which hot melted wax is placed on the cloth to create areas that cannot be dyed. Then, I make "people" from the traces of heat from the layers of wax. I believe this is the best way to create "people. I and the people I have met so far, Everyone of them is a single living being called "human being. This obvious fact and my obsession with being a "human being", I continue to express "human" because of this obvious fact, my obsession with being "human" and my strong interest in "human" as a living creature, I continue to express “human". He creates works based on "words," "behavior," and "feelings" unique to humans that he once encountered. I create works based on "words," "behavior," and "feelings" peculiar to humans that I encountered in the past. And I look at the scene where someone is watching me.

The "eye" is also an essential element in my expression of "human beings. The human eye has a unique gaze that other creatures do not have, and a strong sense of individuality within it, The human eye has a unique gaze that no other living creature has, and it strongly reveals the individuality that lies within. This is because the "eye" is the only transparent organ in the human body that is exposed. The "eye" may be the only transparent organ in the human body that is exposed. It may be because it is the only window between the inside and the outside of the body.
