About The Artwork
The title of this work is Displaced – 1945 to 2011. My belief about nuclear power is that no one should use it. Period. For this piece, I wanted to express my feelings about the two man-made tragedies and the discrimination on top of the tragedies. The left figure represents the atomic bomb that hit Japan in 1945. The right figure represents Fukushima. I saw an interview of a young boy who lost his home and was forced to move to a different city from Fukushima. He was discriminated against and bullied at school just because he was from Fukushima. He said he wanted to commit suicide every day. A lot of people lost their health, even without any effects of radiation, and they lost their lives as well. According to Asashi.com, as of March 11th, 2020, 47,000 people were still displaced from their homes and hometowns. When issues are not in front of our eyes, the world starts to forget, but we should never forget how dangerous the world we are living in is.

United States
I reside in New York City, but I am originally from Japan. As I paint and draw more, I have found myself returning to my elusive fascination with the figure - the figure as a “figure” and the strokes that make up that figure. Sometimes the strokes are very fast and carefree; sometimes they are bold, even violent. Sometimes they are like touching the forehead of a sleeping baby. I simply enjoy the rhythm of that process. I was influenced by my mother, who was an amazing calligrapher, but I am not a calligrapher. My grandfather and great-grandfather were also practicing calligraphers. Why am I a painter and not a calligrapher? That I don’t know. Over the last decade, I experienced the hardships that everyone has to go through as an adult. As I overcame the pain little by little, I started to appreciate that I’m still alive, and this realization increased my desire to paint people’s emotions more. I did not necessarily want to go through these experiences, but I felt they have made me a better painter than I was before. I more and more want to capture the momentary beats of life.
