<< Relation: He-Story >>
My interests are hidden in people, society and history, although they are in a connected relation.
I express the relation between me and the present through my experience of myth and history.
The relation-disappearance and reappearance shown in history express the invisible causality between past and present.
In 2003, I exhibited the problem of the desire of modern man through the mythical theme of 'Icarus-now & here'. And in 'Labylinthos or Maze' in 2004, I expressed the situation of modern man with my own image of maze or mazes used in myth.
Since then, my interest has been constantly stimulated with curiosity and consolidated into relation and networks. Every relation involves not only being seen but also not being revealed. Like Indra's net, through the causality, past is connected with future in the same network.
Numerous lines superimposed in the symbolic sense and the shapes of Sumer clay tablets were used in my works. Sumer clay tablets, simplified for my work, are expressed as general memory of history and as my personal memories in a narrow sense. The symbolic foot shape depicted on the background of the Sumer clay tablets signifies the presence of human beings or traces of individual living.
The pieces of the Sumer clay tablets appearing on the screen can be an individual that is directly or indirectly revealed or sometimes hidden, and at the same time symbolically express individual stories that were gathered and become history.
Since my late 20s, the curiosity and wonder of Sumer clay tablets and Rosetta Stone,
inscriptions on bones and tortoise carapaces (甲骨文字) made me interested in human history and archeology, and became a He-Story in my paintings.
