My artwork is rooted in the theme of “nostalgic everyday life.” I express this through elements reminiscent of childhood, such as girls with large eyes inspired by classic girl’s manga and color palettes akin to fancy stationery. I value creating art that feels like children’s doodles on toys or notebook pages. I find beauty in things that seem fragile, destined to become stained or broken over time.
Since my teenage years, I’ve felt more connected to people online than in the real world. Social media has become an inseparable part of my life. While it offers joy, it also brings the chaos of starangers’ arguments and harsh words, often unsettling me. My artwork captures these emotional fluctuations that arise from daily life, attempting to depict the complexities of contemporary society and human relationships that cannot be neatly categorized as good or bad, light or dark.
When I reflect on why I am drawn to such themes, I realize it might be because the tangible, familiar things from my pre-internet life seem to anchor my restless heart amidst the endless drift of social media and modern life.
