Author's comment
I can't reach it, I'm wearing high heels that were there a long time ago. From taking an unreliable step on the railing to venturing out into the night.
Judge's review
Those who come into contact with this artist's work will be overwhelmed by his methodology, which begins with extremely personal matters of the body and then interacts with the world around him. As a sculptor, his production process connects things on various levels, such as memories from childhood, the present day to day life, and hopes for the future, through various images that cannot be expressed in words.
However, it is clear that what is consistent therewith is an open sensitivity and philosophy that goes beyond just internal and private ideas. Each of her creations is underpinned by both delicate poetic thoughts and universal concepts, opening the door to all possibilities for individuals and society. (Akiya Takahashi)
