Let me tell you a little about myself.
My work is an expression of deep empathy for the vulnerable people who are hurt and discarded by the rapid development and rationalism of modern society. Many people live their lives numbing their hearts and silencing the voice that springs from deep within them in order to survive. They turn their soft, human hearts into hard, ruthless hearts.
Beauty, vulnerability, and empathy for others are often dismissed as useless, unworthy, and unprofitable in today's society. Yet these elements are the core of our humanity and what makes us truly rich.
My aim is to look at these values, which modern society is trying to discard, and to re-acknowledge and honor their existence. Through my work, I want to convey the importance of beauty, vulnerability, and empathy for others, which are often overlooked.
私の作品は、現代社会の急速な発展と合理主義によって傷つけられ、捨てられる弱い人々への深い共感の表現です。多くの人々は、生き残るために心を麻痺させ、心の奥底から湧き出る声を封じて生きています。柔らかく人間的な心を、硬く冷酷な心に変えてしまうのです。
美しさ、弱さ、他者への共感は、現代社会ではしばしば役に立たない、価値がない、利益がないものとして切り捨てられます。しかし、これらの要素こそが私たちの人間性の核心であり、真の豊かさをもたらすものです。
私は、現代社会が捨て去ろうとしているこれらの価値に目を向け、彼らの存在を再び認識し、尊重することを目指しています。作品を通じて、見過ごされがちな美しさや弱さ、そして他者への共感の重要性を伝えたいのです。
