I am interested in the sensations that emerge within nature and in relationships. Just as layers of water meet and slowly blend, I feel that the distance and boundaries between people also change over time.

I search for softness. Like the warmth felt in an embrace and the gentle curves of the body, I hope the world that comes toward me will arrive with generosity and abundance.

Although I paint what is visible, what I truly try to depict is not the object itself but a moment. I complete the image through the sensations and memories that the moment leaves behind. Painting is my way of holding on to a fleeting brightness. I, too, hope to encounter someone at their most luminous moment. Like the first instant of recognition, I try to let such moments remain on the surface so they do not simply pass by.
