水心
大阪は水がものを運び様々なものが行き交うことで栄えてきました。瑞穂の国、日本では古来の信仰や考え方の根底に、海の向こうから良いものがやってくるという文化があります。大阪といえば蛸、タコの八本足は日本では八は末広といって幸先がいいという意味を表します。また八方良しー全方位に良きことがあるようーまさに訪れる方々、大阪に幸多かれという思いで、タコとその素敵な棲家である大阪を表現しました。大阪港に隣接する場所なのでステンドグラスで水のきらめきを感じる作品を作らせていただきました。
Profile
An artist who continues to question the nature of things and the universality of expression based on Japanese culture and Eastern philosophy. Her timeless works, with a consistent and graceful style that is at once innovative and nostalgic, create a unique space between the viewer and the artist through a multiple structure of symbols and stories. Her works transcend the existing narrow boundaries of Japanese art by using a method of expression that is not restricted to any medium, and her unique interpretation and perspective of the context of Japanese art allows her to move back and forth between tradition and innovation. She has exhibited at the Pola Museum of Art, Chiba City Museum of Art, Busan Museum of Art OPAM, Art Tower Mito, and many others. She has collaborated with Maison Hermes, SHISEIDO THE STORE, Kyoto Takashimaya T8 THIS IS NATURE, and many other companies.
