There is a means of grasping an ambiguous concept or space by dividing it into parts and setting boundaries.
This is a creative process of investing in cultural meaning and achieving a world by drawing things distant to place close at hand.
Paradoxically, it might also be said that the world can only be grasped after it has been separated into parts and boundaries assigned.
However, even if it isn't possible to grasp an obscure notion or space with words without breaking it into smaller parts, it is possible to perceive it with the eye.
For some reason, I fell that the world of things beyound our grasp is somewhere close at hand.


It is somewhere I have ever seen the landscape.

The smell of grass, the touch of earth, soft breeze and the blue sky.
Lining boxes, towering granite and a rough surface.
Adventure, sword and magic, mechanical world and wonderland, caught me.

It was a memory, the wonderful vision in my childhood with my infinite imagination.
Naturally it was ruled out as poor fantasy by my growing up common sense.
But now, I venture to translate it into reality as art works.
It means to make up for negated my childhood, and admire it this time for sure.
I hope my works remind you some nostalgia for your lost imagination and somewhere you had ever seen.
