“Attraction" = “Vitality" A creative endeavor to visualize all unseen charms. It involves anticipation and expectation towards the unrealistic, believing in the vibrations that the vividness of the special power, which only life can possess, exerts on the heart. It is expressed in various forms such as two-dimensional, three-dimensional, installation, and performance.
Born in Osaka Japan Prefecture in 1981.
