I find myself returning to images that are melting, dripping, streaming, and flowing. In my work, “fluidity” represents memories as alive with subtle movements and electrons, like all living organisms in the universe. I believe what we remember about our feelings from the past is formed by an aggregate of elements. But with time and other information, those elements can manipulate, regenerate or fade. When I was four, my family moved to a neighborhood in Tokyo where there were beautiful cherry blossom trees. I was overwhelmed by their beauty and I remember we were all laughing. More than thirty years have passed and many things changed. The memory of the day exists in my heart yet the visual memory as a whole quietly keeps changing. To present this concept as a static visual art form, I create a slight sense of movement and a source of energy with thousands of small bits of colors. I like using color to connect the world to my introspective visions. With a great, child-like excitement, I attempt to unleash all possibilities of colors. I find some similarities between experimental music and dance in their creative process. The ‘bits’ concept was originally inspired by the digital images created by thousands of tiny pixels. I developed the technique of canvas-on-canvas collage utilizing traditional mosaic making. My process is extremely meticulous yet spontaneous in its execution, allowing instinct to guide the creativity and momentum of the work.
