After the earthquake, my body became sensitive to shaking. It comes when the pulsating blood tides and the beating heart meet without a pause. I try to check the surrounding prodigality without my mind, but I cannot erase the shaking of my heart. Magnificat" is a Christian chant. The text is based on Mary's prayer in the Gospel of Luke in the New Testament. It is a prayer in which Mary praises God after the Annunciation.

The visual image and the linguistic and conceptual image have existed since the beginning of the work, but they have nothing to do with the finished product. The first image, which is vague, does not become the finished product. If I think about the rationale, my hand stops working. I am not sure what I am drawing. I don't even have a basis for painting, but I paint because it is the only thing I can do.
I do not take photographs in order to create paintings, but I use them because I cannot decide on the pattern of the picture. I feel that the time I spend composing the composition and proportions on the square screen is a waste. If I am worried about it, I will never be able to paint it. That is why I use photographs as a quick fix. Instead of taking a picture of the image I want to draw, I choose one that has a strong visual image from among those that have been taken.
If I can see what I want to create during the process of creation, I lose interest in the work ahead, and I want to leave it to someone else. After that, the work becomes so different that it can no longer be called a separate work of art for me.
I decide on the form, including the colors. Color is a part of painting. The range of colors I use is narrow. This is the same for both paintings and images.
I hope to paint honestly from my own point of view. I want to convey a variety of things with care.
