I believe that we humans are all inhabitants in a wavering world. In that confusion, I search for both the beauty and impurity that are hidden within us humans. To create a figure that reflects the mind, I derived inspiration from the many facets and arms that can be seen on statues of Buddha. I chose wood because it is the material that best expresses the warmth of the human body. I have used the keyword "ambivalence" to show the contradicting emotions, passage of time and blurry fluctuations. I make figures that show the human core.
