Akihiro Funahashi

Things gain or lose their meaning based on how we think about them.
Value is gained or lost in the same way.

Things are constantly in flux... never stabilizing.

Our sense of sight also works that way, as the same thing may appear differently based on your state of mind or your experience.

I am interested in these sorts of vague and uncertain things.
I produce my work while thinking about the true nature of things, drawing inspiration through this filter called art from vague and uncertain things, a sense of aesthetics, observations of natural phenomena and other sources.
