Tsukino Frog's works are mixed media pieces composed of various materials, mainly transparent resin.
The disparate materials that create a unique world by exhibiting their individual charms are superimposed on the diversity and fusion of different cultures in this world.
The artist's childhood experience in a convalescent home where she grew up with other children from various backgrounds had a great influence on her work.

In addition, the artist, who had been working and living as a company employee without any art education since high school classes, suddenly started painting at the age of 46. He says it was like going back to retrieve something forgotten from his childhood.

One of the reasons the artist continues to create art is his desire to "learn about the world in which he exists.
Humans perceive the world primarily through sight. In other words, we tend to think that only what we "see" exists.
The brain of a living creature that perceives its surroundings through a different mechanism would have a different view of the world.
Even if they have the same mechanism, the projected view may be different.

While the rise of the Internet and social networking services has connected people and contributed to the visualization of the world, it has also made people connect only to what they can "see" or "want to see" and has made the world more visible.
It is also said that this has the aspect of accelerating the division of the society.
If "not seeing" what is "invisible" leads to division and conflict, it is the artist's belief that being aware of the existence of an "invisible hierarchy" is the first step toward understanding the world in which we exist.
