Concept
I create images using duplication and inversion, which are easily done digitally. Interestingly, these sometimes resemble the regularity and structure of how plants develop leaves and flowers. When the same form is repeated many times through duplication, it evokes sound and music. When I create gradations using RGB colors, they sometimes remind me of rainbows, sunsets, and cosmic phenomena. They can also appear to look like parts of the body or cells.
I am inspired not only by natural phenomena such as plants, insects, rainbows, and sunsets, but also by visual effects seen digitally in animations, films, music videos, and more. However, each work does not have a specific motif. Even when something appears recognizable, I create images that land in an ambiguous place—appearing to be something concrete yet not quite.
They appear to be both plants and the universe, yet neither. They look like prints yet are hand-drawn. Copies and originals exist simultaneously. They appear to be abstract paintings, yet might be depictions of an iPad screen. Rather than being digital or physical, they are digital and physical and something in between.
In this way, crossing boundaries and embracing ambiguity is both a form of resistance against existing categories for me, and a process of exploring new possibilities.
