(日本語)
今回の個展タイトルは「明鏡(めいきょう)」です。
この頃は、日本人として何を引き継いてきているのかということも含めて、個人としての自分(個人)、集団の中の自分(個人)はどうなのか
ということを考えながら作品を制作しております。
自分を冷静に見る・認識することでこれからの目的が明確になったり、身の回りの状況をより把握できるようになるのではと考えておりますが、
そのためには自分自身を見るためもの(鏡)に曇りがないことが肝要になります。
絵と向き合う行為もまた、自分自身が何を見て何を感じる人間なのかを知る手掛かりと考え、今回の個展における作品が、
鑑賞者それぞれが持つ鏡の曇りを除く手立ての一つになればと願っております。

(English)
The title of this solo exhibition is“Meikyo” (meaning “clear mirror”).
At this time, I have been creating works while thinking about what I am as an individual and how I am in a group as individual,
including what I have inherited as a Japanese person.
I believe that by seeing and recognizing myself calmly, I will be able to clarify my future purpose and better grasp the situation around me,
and for this reason, it is essential that the mirror in which I look at myself be clear and unclouded.
I believe that the act of facing a painting is also a clue to understanding what we ourselves see and feel,
and I hope that the works in this exhibition will be a means of removing the fogging of the mirror held by each viewer.
