From the fabulous water
From one of the particles of life that fall from the universe,a human being is born.
This work centers around a portion of the Heavenly Arc of Dante's Divine Comedy.
I combined the theme of the birth of life with the allegory of the virgin conception and expressed it with the motif of the Tarot. The passage recited in this work is said to be the passage that represents Dante's birth. Heaven (Paradiso)is where Dante seems to leave this world and fly into space, but I imagine that the origin of life is invisible and exists like a particle in the universe, mixed with other stars and dust particles. The beginning of the universe, the birth of the stars and that we are alive today are the result of the accumulation of coincidences and processes, and no one can explain the reasons if asked why. Throughout history, people have constantly looked up to the sky,maybe because the source of our distant lives came fromthe sky far, far away.
The birth of life is an adventure in itself, an encounter with the unknown, and a touch of anxiety and fear are involved. The birth of something out of nothing. For example, one woman becomes a mother by conceiving life, nurturing the fetus from microscopic cells in the womb and bringing it into the world as a birth. Fear of the unknown, fear of change. To hold on to fear and wait for something to come. Mystery, hope, anxiety and fear. And beginnings. I created this work to express my wonder and respect for the birth of all life.

I want someone to empathize with the feelings that shake my heart.
I want someone to understand the feelings that come back to me over and over again.
I can't help expressing the impulses that well up in me.
When I feel like doing something, my hand moves spontaneously.
I want to do something that no one has ever done before.
Many opportunities for expression present themselves to us. Cameras, video cameras and smartphones can be used as our eyes and hands to hold the brush. But what if we feel that the photos and videos we have taken do not fully express our feelings?
Can we do anything other than repeating the process again and again?
In this fourth exhibition of video works, we present a collection of works that have been created by converting a number of photographs into moving images,transforming live-action videos into paintings, skillfully mixing various other techniques, and exploring and creating images that transcend the boundaries of what we seek.
Expressive techniques are passed down from creator to creator; new usages and ideas are added; evolution continues. Evolution will continue without end,transcending the boundaries of people.
Although this is a collection of works inspired by expression techniques, we hope that while you are facing the screen in a dark room, you will not pay attention to the means, but rather surrender yourself to the world that is unfolding there. Let's share the world of expression in the year 2024.
Last, but not least, the gallery sincerely asks that you leave the young creators a warm message of encouragement, even if it is just a few words.
