About the work

My subjects are people who live in a big city

which never stops moving.

As a result, they often feel nervous and anxious.

So, many of them would like to find a way

to communicate with nature and animals.

Also, they need to find some way to relax,

such as taking brief coffee breaks.

Though people are crowded together on streets and subway platforms,

they are often unconnected, and indifferent to others.

I am trying to capture these fragments of big city scenes in modern society.

I sometimes find poetry,

sometimes cruelty,

and sometimes solitude.

今回の私の主題は、常に変化し続ける大都会のすむ人々の姿です。

いらだちや不安ととなりあわせの生活、

そしてそこから離れる為の心休まる

時間　ー　動物達とのふれあいや　つかの間のコーヒータイム。。。

大都会特有の空間の中、地下鉄のプラットフォーム、

混雑する通り、互いに無関心で繋がりの無い日常。

時に詩的に、時に残酷に、時に孤独を感じさせる都市空間に私は現代を感じている
