People have each body and live through cladding it, however it sometimes feels like a prison. Unexpectedly, my sight in the reality has become dark, and my body often feels heavy like putting shackles. This is because that we have to spend own daily life as a member in the society that becoming like nested boxes, and we have become to be difficult to decide things easily under each own will. Such situations make me feel very cramped, and I often ask myself, “Why do people live?” and “What is living?”.

The body is own prison what we were born with, we make the prison inside it too and lock ourself in it. However, at the deepest part of it, there is a purity that longs freedom and wants to go outside. I think that it is an image of a person's fundamental life. With the theme of “The body and its inside”, I want to express the image buried in the body through my work.
