Concept

" Focusing on the work of the imperfect or immature toward perfection, either artificially or of its own volition, I try to portray the ruptures, imperfections, and dangers that this creates. Disguises to protect oneself from enemies, masks that mimic the ideal. Things that we cannot live without, or we believe we cannot live without. These are silly and loving. I think the consciousness of trying to become something perfect is similar to the consciousness of trying to become something else, something other than oneself. The reason why he is concerned with the indirect techniques of print and copperplate printing instead of tableau is that he wants to change his own traces into something else. Even if every inch of the picture is covered with his lines, the sense of expression is exactly the same as if it were someone else's. This is a terrible relief for me. This is a terribly reassuring and comfortable thing for me. It's a work that is swirling around in the world despite the danger of being invaded by itself, I think. "
