PROFILE

北海道札幌在住。東京理科大学理工学部応用生物学科卒業、北海道大学農学研究科環境資源学修士課程修了。植物生理学、植物生理生態学を専攻。卒業後は環境教育、保育士等の仕事に就く。出産経験も経て、「生命とは何か？」という問いを持ち続けてきました。2009年から手芸によるアクセサリーの制作・販売を開始。近年は造形作品を、2017年から写真作品を発表。生きものや自然を題材とする作品を個展を中心に発表しています。

Based in Sapporo, Hokkaido. Graduated from the Department of Applied Biological Science, Faculty of Science and Technology at Tokyo University of Science, and completed a Master’s program in Environmental Resources at the Graduate School of Agriculture, Hokkaido University. Specialized in plant physiology and plant physiological ecology. After graduation, I worked in environmental education and as a nursery school teacher. My experiences, including childbirth, have led me to continuously explore the question: “What is life?” In 2009, I began creating and selling handmade accessories. In recent years, I have been producing sculptural works, and since 2017, I have also presented photographic works. Centered around solo exhibitions, my work focuses on living creatures and the natural world.

 

CONCEPT

「全ての生命は最も尊く価値あるもの」という意図から、日常で見過ごされがちな小さな生き物を主な題材として、生命の神秘、美しさ、儚さ、生々しさ、ゆらぎ、野生等、生き物の持つ様々な魅力に注目し、制作、発表をしています。日本で生まれ育つことで培われたアニミズム的な視点に生物学的視点を加え、「生命」について考察。生命の愛おしさ、尊厳、多様性等について表現していきたいと考えています。

With the intention that “all life is the most precious and valuable thing,” I mainly depict small creatures that are often overlooked in daily life. Through my work, I explore the mystery, beauty, transience, rawness, fluctuations, and wildness of life—capturing its many facets. Combining a biological perspective with the animistic worldview deeply rooted in Japanese culture, I contemplate the nature of life. I hope to continue conveying the dearness, dignity of all living beings and biodiversity through my works.
