The motif of a family living an ordinary life is expressed using simplified animations and pictorial expressions.

It has become commonplace for us to type "lol" in emails even when we are not actually smiling, to smile in front of others even when we are in pain, and to convey and create our own facial expressions as a matter of course.

In addition, simplified animated cartoons and pictorial expressions are easier to read than the ambiguous and profound emotions of human beings.

Through art, Kanai depicts human changes in contemporary society, such as the influence received from others, discrepancies between emotions and actions, and standards of uniqueness.
From the age of 15, she studied abroad in Serbia and Spain for three years to become a professional tennis player.
However, he developed tic disorder due to excessive practice.
As part of his treatment, he began abstract painting, and while studying abroad, he was shocked by racism and the gap between rich and poor.
At the same time, influenced by objective expressions such as neo-Dada and simulationism, he taught himself the history of contemporary art.
Currently, he exhibits his works in department stores and disseminates information on Youtube and Tiktok to promote his works.
