I believe that art is not something to be thought about with the brain; rather, what matters is whether one’s breath—one’s life—is in harmony. This resonates with Picasso’s words: “Art washes away the dust accumulated in daily life from the soul.” If we consider artists not as “creators” but as “restorers of the soul,” then the true creator is you, with your breath in harmony. A work of art is a catalyst, a fleeting scaffold.

Human society is full of elements that crush the “will to create the world.” However, if each of us cherished our breath, the world we see would be completely different. And if our collective values prioritized breath, wars that rob people of their breath would vanish from the face of the earth. This is because if we do things that wound the soul, eventually we ourselves or those close to us will pay the price.

I am pursuing a form of art that helps viewers rediscover a pure sense of life—the realization that they are “living here and now.”
