Japan
Statement
My interest is the correlations of nature, humans, animals and their artifacts in the different environment. The juxtapositions with a different defines the significance of existence between each other. I was born in a small village in Japan and grew up in Tokyo area. The experience of the gap between rural and urban life has had a significant effect on me. This experience is to be a trigger of my interest about the environment.
