Concept

Just as words have a spirit of their own
I believe that letters have a life of their own.

Words and letters are communication tools that have been perfected over many years.
are communication tools that have been perfected over a long period of time
but they are also imbued with meanings that are born at that moment and come into existence
and the meaning born at that moment is contained in them.

Words are everywhere in our daily lives.
What was once written by human hands
through the ages to printed type, and then to digital type
and eventually became digital, changing its form with the evolution of technology.
It is a motif that is always around us as a matter of course and that we continue to come into contact with on a daily basis.
motifs that we continue to come into contact with on a daily basis.

By giving my own interpretation and expression to these motifs
I wanted to put my own new vitality and presence into it.


The expressive technique of printmaking is completed by involving coincidence.

From the time I think of a letter as a theme to the time I draw, engrave, and print it, the process is always transforming the form.
The form is constantly changing in the process of drawing, engraving, printing, and finishing.
By letting the form change and not adjusting it too much, the form takes on a life of its own.

The entire production process is done by hand.
Even if the same plate is printed using the same colors
The same plate is printed with the same colors, but there are always differences in the amount of ink, the degree of blurring, and so on.
The same item can never be made twice.

If people feel the beauty of transience in the process
the letters will take on a new meaning.
