I produce three-dimensional ceramic art that feature animals.
Ceramics are usually hollow inside.
While these holes are not visible from the outside, I feel that these “voids” could be the very essence of ceramics.
Based on this concept, I intentionally expose the internal hollows in my works.
As a result, it has allowed me to express conflicting elements such as the outside and inside, front and back, and virtual and real.
My audience could also enjoy the artworks from unprecedented angles.
I wish to create works and spaces that could help viewers grow their imaginations from infinitely expanding perspectives.
