Statement When I "express" something, I free myself and to be free in what I express and how I express it. I quiet my thoughts and return to "nothingness". I focus on the senses and the unconscious. I feel "shape, color, and movement" based on the sensations and emotions that emerge at that moment, and I do not fix a finished image at first. I create in the way I want to how to express and be at that time. Some of them are "stimuli and information" that I have accumulated through my life. They are drawn from listening to sounds, smelling trees and people, animals, inorganic objects and everything else. The "thing" that I created is a mirror and record of "me" at that moment, I also believe that the feelings and discoveries of the "viewer" are a mirror of that person at that moment. The colors and shapes that interest us change depending on the combination of "emotion, situation, time," etc. This kind of freedom is similar to the feeling I had as a child when I was playing with the shapes of clouds, I think it is something very important, like pure "creativity" that everyone has. In order to express it, I still feel it is important to be free, pure, and honest with myself about what comes up in the moment.
