She studied at the FAAP Art Academy and pursued Philosophy at the University of São Paulo (USP). Of Japanese descent, Kaori was born and raised in Brazil, later she settled down in the Netherlands. During her first few years there, she immersed herself in the creative subculture of ADM, which profoundly influenced her perspective on life and art.
