Artist Statement

Using Japanese painting materials to create one world that she expresses the excitement and comfort that arise when the environment surrounding you and the body that feels it come together as one flow. At the same time, she is exploring the role of Japanese painting in contemporary art.

In Japanese painting, the idea of "figure and ground” has been rooted, and it is said that a painting is made up of the mutual relationship between the “figure” that is painted and the “ground” that is imagined as the background because it is not painted. By vaguely expressing the boundary between figure and ground and by disrupting the order, I visualize a world with fluidity, where the ground could become a figure and the figure could become the ground.
