Working primarily with iron, I create abstract sculptures that evoke drawings in space through original techniques based on gas welding and cutting. By melting iron at temperatures of around 1500°C, I engage with the material’s transformation process, seeking what I call its “formless beauty”—a beauty that emerges not from defined contours, but from the raw, shifting essence of the metal itself.
Since 2015, alongside my sculptural practice, I have also been producing two-dimensional works using Mino washi, a traditional handmade paper from Gifu Prefecture, as a support. These pieces incorporate materials such as iron powder, rust, and pure gold leaf—elements that, like iron, are subject to change over time.
Through my work, I aim to create a space of quiet transience—a realm where opposing qualities such as brilliance and decay, elegance and austerity, coexist and gently dissolve into one another. I am drawn to the subtle beauty of impermanence, and to the poetic tension between what is seen and what is left unseen.
