I have always wanted to create works that take advantage of the high translucency of my porcelain clay. During a visit to a museum, I had the great opportunity to observe nerve cells under a cutting-edge microscope. The overlapping layers of linear fibers illuminated by backlight, and their intricate interconnections, were like the very essence of human life, and were extremely mystical. I create these moments of phenomena that are constantly in motion using clay. They feel like a new, unknown existence that bridges the inorganic and organic worlds, and I find them endearing.

磁土の高い透光性を生かした作品をずっと作りたいと思っていた。ある博物館を訪れた際に、最先端の顕微鏡で神経細胞を観察する機会を得た。バックライトで照らされた線状繊維のレイヤーが重なり合い、複雑に連関し合う様子は、人間が生きる姿そのものであり、とても神秘的だった。その絶え間なく動き続ける事象の瞬間を土によって創出する。それは、無機と有機の架け橋となる未知の存在のようで愛おしく思う。
