Fragments of small moments I find in everyday scenes. They gently unravel into the room I share with my cat, then are tied together again within the space of a painting, becoming part of it. Like assembling pieces of sketches, different motifs intertwine on the canvas, gaining new meanings as they meet. While gazing at these shifting, reconnected landscapes through time, I create with care for the small joys and quiet discoveries they hold.

5年前、2匹の猫たちが空へと旅立ちました。
ユキが先に、ジジは1年後に。
その後、ある本との出会いをきっかけに猫を描くようになり、2匹を思い出しながら絵を仕上げていく時間が私にとって大切な癒しとなりました。
今は猫のキキと共に暮らし、日々のなかで感じる小さなぬくもりや心の静けさを絵にしています。
Five years ago, my two cats departed for the sky— Yuki first, and Jiji a year later. After reading a certain book, I began painting cats, and the act of painting them became a quiet form of healing. Now I live with my new cat, Kiki, and through our days together, I paint small moments of warmth and calm.
