My major/recent artworks include the fusion of abstract expressionism elements and Japanese anime culture. This style represents my Japanese American identity. Using my globalized perspective, I express my thoughts/emotions through personal life experiences and current social circumstances, especially in Japan and the United States. My eternal goal as an artist is to create various artworks that encourage the audience and myself. In front of the artwork, I am in a different world, experiencing unexplainable feelings and gaining more confidence. Art contains energy that encourages us to overcome tough social circumstances and break through stereotypes. I want to share this energy and enjoy communicating in a peaceful environment. Furthermore, I hope my work will give the audience opportunities to follow their ideal path.
