I am particularly interested in the way memories appear and disappear. Memories are like living and uncontrollable creatures, appearing suddenly one day and then disappearing, however hard I may try to catch them. Then they suddenly appear in my head again one day after I have completely forgotten about them. Looking back at this memory mechanism, I would like to express this process in my works.

For me, memory is like an enormous flow of energy, because memories are never created by the independent actions of individuals but through communication and meetings between individuals and other things, including countless people, manufactured items and natural objects. For this reason, Memory is like flows of echos created by meetings with others.

In addition, I think that the memories that human beings create are like the flow of life energy that proves they are alive. Memory is a combination of the past and the present, because we can recall our past experiences in the present time. Therefore, memories are constantly changing, and they are discoloured and reborn in our present situation. Through constant communication between the past and the present, we can prove that we are alive, and I believe that the various kinds of emotions and reactions expressed through our memories make up the enormous flow of energy that encompasses life. I would like to express these two kinds of energy flow through various materials in my works.
