To capture this state exactly as it is, I carve and paint them while keeping facial expressions to an absolute minimum.<\/p>\n<p>The form itself, including the clothing, embodies a narrative. However, I prefer to infuse a more fictional narrative rather than a realistic one. I feel that tethering a physically evocative form to a realistic story risks confining it within the cramped limits of a &#8220;diminished diorama.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Rather than seeking empathy from the viewer, my goal is to guide them into a world of free imagination through an &#8220;alien&#8221; sense of fiction. In doing so, I make it a point to ensure that the subjects themselves remain entirely unaware of the very stories they wear.<\/p>\n<h4>available works<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/shop.biscuitgallery.com\/shop\/yuuki-kitazawa\/GWGXMQ4IZFYJL6KTZSMUMJRF\">https:\/\/shop.biscuitgallery.com\/shop\/yuuki-kitazawa\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h4>SNS<\/h4>\n<p class=\"sns-lk-in\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/y.kitazawa\/?locale=ja_JP\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/y.kitazawa\/?locale=ja_JP<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yuuki Kitazawa Profile Yuuki Kitazawa 1962: Born in Suwa City, Nagano Prefecture.
