About works

She is interested in how to realize/reflect what she creates in fluctuating urban society and trying to re-measure the relative relationship between the city, the nature and the human. Activity for creation is made in the real urban space, which is intended to force her production influenced by external factors. Only when activity by artist is influenced by anything else, it will ask about the identity of artist through influence, and people are asked what their personality is.
