The recent accelerated spread of online communication has led to an increase in opportunities to meet face-to-face with people online.
Non-direct communication through monitors and terminals may seem to conclusively show us the object, but it is not accompanied by the actual situation, and I feel that the number of limited and multi-layered sensory experiences has increased.
Therefore, I research techniques and materials and create paintings and sculptures with an awareness of the various gaps lacking directness that exist inextricably linked to the convenience of the Internet age.
Through my work, I would like to present such a sense specific to the present age.ーKenta KAWABATA
