My works can be categorized into two types: figurative works using marble and other materials like Western sculptures, and works that utilize the shape of the original stone while combining it with different materials. Incorporating different materials into a stone sculpture can completely change the impression of the stone’s materiality, and depending on how it is carved, it can give people the feeling that it is not stone at all. The idea may start with “words”. Stone is often described as “hard,” “heavy,” or “cold”. I wonder if it is possible to make them look “soft,” “light,” and “warm”. By combining familiar stones and familiar everyday objects, an unrealistic work of art is created. It is just like a surrealist painting.
