This work blends traditional Japanese painting techniques with a poetic contemporary vision. Set on textured hemp paper, the interplay of luminous gold foil, rich gold mud, and subtle ink washes creates a quiet, meditative scene.

This work revives the gentle vibrancy of spring through traditional Japanese techniques. Layered with luminous mineral pigments and precious metal foils, it captures the soft bloom of flowers and warm glow of sunlight. The blend of natural materials creates a rich, shifting texture that feels both timeless and vivid, like a quiet celebration of seasonal renewal.
River
2019 (reimagined 2022)
This installation uses soft, flowing fabrics like silk and gauze to evoke the varied forms and complexities of life. The artist frames conflicting emotions as an "unknown river," and uses gold foil to catch light, transforming the textiles into shifting natural shadows and reflections that mirror the movement of feelings.
