Expressing the concept of time and memories through paintings. He depicts the landscape as a symbol of the relationship between time and space, as if capturing an eternal moment.
In the seemingly quiet scenes of the border between the sea and the sky, the scenery of mountains and trees, etc., I consciously draw so that I can leave traces of the passage of time and change. They show that the end of the moment and the beginning exist at the same time, and are traces born in the process of searching for the expression of eternity and momentary coexistence. By drawing out the viewer's memories and superimposing the paintings in front of them and their memories, he intends to create multiple images, aiming to express a very abstract figurative landscape that is woven with deep memories common to all people.

Recent major exhibitions in 2023 include: Arts Maebashi 10th Anniversary Exhibition "New Horizon: Vision of the Future" (Arts Maebashi), a collaborative exhibition at Mother New York, "flow of time" (GINZA TSUTAYA), NANJO SELECTION vol. 2 "A Whiter Shade of Pale" (N&A Art SITE).

Through her pain tings, she expresses the concept of time and memory, using landscapes as symbols of the relationship between time and space, as if capturing an eternal moment.
In her work, she consciously preserves traces of the flow of time and change in seemingly quiet scenes, such as the border between the sea and the sky, and the mountains and landscapes of trees. These pain tings reflect the simultaneous existence of the end and the beginning of a moment, created in the process of exploring the coexistence of eternity and the present. By eliciting the viewer's memories and overlaying them with the pain ting, she aims to create multiple images, representing a highly abstract figurative landscape woven from deep, shared memories.
