This striking artwork is a masterful exercise in abstract geometric composition, drawing the viewer's eye immediately with its bold interplay of shapes and colors. Dominated by clean lines and precise curves, the piece is an impeccable demonstration of balance and contrast. The artist skillfully employs a palette of rich, vibrant hues – including deep greens, vivid yellows, bold blacks, and muted tans. Each shape in this artwork is meticulously delineated, creating a harmonious yet dynamic mosaic of color that interacts in unexpected and intriguing ways. The utilization of sharp angles alongside smooth curves suggests both movement and stability, engaging the viewer in a visual dialogue that sparks curiosity and contemplation. The contrast between the solid blocks of color and the negative space around them further emphasizes the fluidity and rhythm of the composition. This interplay challenges traditional perceptions, compelling the audience to look beyond the surface and explore the subtleties of design and form. The brown vertical shape on the left juxtaposed with the blend of yellow, orange, and black captures a sense of modernity and bold artistic vision. Overall, this artwork stands as a testament to the power of abstraction in conveying emotion and narrative through pure form and color. It invites the viewer to interpret and re-interpret the composition, offering a fresh perspective with every glance.

- Artist Statement
Shifting Consciousness.
I explore the causes of my attraction to an object, and then create a work of art using the shapes and colors I find as a result.
The abstract works, shaved down and simplified, pose questions to the viewer.
These questions prompt the viewer to think, and even if only slightly, to move their consciousness away from the situation of “now".
This is to enjoy "thinking" itself.
It is similar to the feeling of living in an "extraordinary" world; a world other than reality, such as the same feeling when you go to the movies or travel.
In ancient Japan, festivals and Sake were prepared for the "Hare" (extraordinary) days to get rid of the “Kegare" (bad things) accumulated in daily life and to gain vitality.
However, the glamour of the festivals and the Sake that had been part of the "Hare" (extraordinary) days became part of the daily life. Therefor, the "Kegare" (bad things) could no longer be removed.
Shifting consciousness becomes a tool to enter to the "Hare" (extraordinary) days in its original meaning.
