這次的新作以[重生]為主題,特別是精神層面上的新生。眼看就快消失的東西因為強烈的意志力,抑或是生命力而再度甦活。當我看到枯黃的植物長出嫩芽以及喪失生存意念的人,再度強韌地活著的身影時,深感人與植物其實並無二致。
今回の新作は「再生」、特に精神的なRebornをテーマに描いています。一度消えてしまいそうになったものでも、甦ることはできる。自分の意志、あるいは生命力で改めて真に生きる事を意味しています。枯れたと思っていた植物が、また芽吹き、死にたいとまで思っていた人が、強く生き直している姿を見て、人も植物も同じだと感じて描いた作品です。
The theme of my new works “Rising Plum Blossoms”,”Evidence”,”Boundary”is reborn, especially spiritual rebirth. Even those things which look like disappearing could rejuvenate by strong living will. When I saw the lithering plants revitalize or people who once lost the will to live returned with strong ambitions for the future, I found that humans and plants are so much the same.

時間的流逝為心靈與身體帶來不同的變化,而這些巧妙變化正是我們活著的證明。這一次我將這些變化妝點在衣裳上,珍視眼前的風景,持續進行人生這場遠大的旅程。
心や身体、時の経過と共にあらゆる変化が訪れますが、その変化こそが生きる証なのだと思います。「変化」という服を身にまとい、遥かなるの時の旅を続けながら「今」見ている景色を大切にして行きたいです。
Times brings changes to our bodies and minds which are the proof of being alive. I put all these changes on the clothes which means that I cherish the present moment while still travelling forwards.
