Title:<\/strong> <\/strong>\u201c1 colours\u201d
Year of production:<\/strong> 2026
Materials:<\/strong> <\/strong>instant film, 1024 sheets
Dimensions:<\/strong> <\/strong>H172.8 \u00d7 W275.2 \u00d7 D0.1cm<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Description:<\/strong>
This work is an installation composed of 1024 instant films, each capturing a single yellow rose from different perspectives and viewpoints.
In Japan, yellow roses are said to symbolize “peace.” Amid escalating international tensions worldwide in 2026, the call for peace grows ever stronger.
Yet it is we humans who also provoke conflict. Raised in divergent environments and values, we can easily become actors on the opposing side, behaving as adversaries.
This piece decomposes and reconstructs the “monstrous nature” latent within each of us across 1024 perspectives, revealing that the peace everyone desires is never uniform.
I hope this piece prompts each viewer to reconsider the meaning of “peace” through their own lens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Artist Statement:<\/strong>
As a child, I spent my days in my grandfather’s wooden house. An amateur carpenter of remarkable skill, he evolved his home like a work of art. I was captivated by his craft.  Guided by his example, I began creating art.
When he occasionally recalled his youth, murmuring “War was truly horrible…”\u2014that image remains etched in my memory.
Throughout my journey, when heart and body felt broken, the work of others revealed light in darkness, giving me strength to rise again. Believing in art’s power to quietly kindle flames within the human heart, I create hoping my own work will someday spark small realizations or hope in someone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
