Concept
Sugita consistently paints “light.”
City lights emerging from the darkness, vividly flashing neon signs—light serves as a symbol of life and a place of peace for humanity. Through her brushwork, she portrays the irrationalities and fragilities of modern society, aiming to reveal the issues underlying various phenomena and situations.
