The theme of my work is to create a biotope.
Because biotope is not nature itself,
but an unstable space created by human
hands to resemble nature,
I feel that biotopes are filled with
people’s strong desire for the lives that
inhabit them to live in abundance.
That is why I try to paint biotopes while
imagining“ how the creatures and plants
would like to move around in this place,”
rather than putting my own desire to
depict nature first. I hope you
will enjoy seeing them as if you were
gently hiding in nature and observing them
from a fixed point. ーUkiko FUJIWARA
