The dynamic form in this work was born of paper craft. When I placed the sites and buildings from my daily walks in different positions, I felt that the familiar vistas began to morph and gain new dimensions. I saw another Tokyo beneath the solid ground and imagined a great sea out of sky and space that I populated with graceful fish who freely journey across my canvas. My paintings fill me with a deep peace and a sense of accomplishment that turns my fears and worries into small, weak things that are unable to break my peace. I am very proud of this piece in particular as it wont the New Face Award in the 42nd Japan Naïve Art Exhibition.
