Concept
I create paintings based on images associated with words, and as a rule, the following items are my rules. (1) I cut up the text written by a third party. (2) The creator reconstructs the text in (1). (3) The artist creates a painting using only the text in (2) as a clue. The artist cuts up words found around her, such as the instruction manual for the fan she uses at home and the piano instruction book she used in her childhood, and creates paintings from the reconstructed sentences.
