--Please tell us about this work.

For many people, insects may not be something they have any connection to. However, I thought that by learning about insects by chance, some people might become interested in them, and I decided to make this work with the hope that it would be that trigger.

Why did you decide to exhibit this work?

Even people who are afraid of moving insects can look at the insect sculptures with ease. I hope that when you look closely, you will realize how interesting, beautiful, and cool they are!

--What are the highlights of your work? How would you like passersby to view it?

I was conscious of the fact that the installation location was in a city. By bringing the beetles into the city, I hope to encourage people to think about the diverse activities of life.

Although the subject matter is limited, I believe that if we look at it broadly, it is actually a story that connects to all life, and that even people living in the city can feel this.
