All living beings live with someone else's life. I was born and raised in a satoyama, and at some point I began to feel that strongly.
Animals and plants that live in the harsh natural world teach us such obvious and important things. And I am keenly aware that I myself am a part of what is "alive".
Through the appearance of small flowers and insects, I want to express the fragility, strength, and beauty of life.
Everyone who can live is always living with someone's life. Nature taught us that it looks cruel, but it is very natural and precious. By depicting plants and animals that live hard, I want to express the fragility and beauty of nature and life.
