profile
1988 Born in Tokyo, Japan
In my work, I use optical illusions in order to allow two dimensional paintings to create virtual space within exhibition sites. Seamlessly connecting the works to the spaces in which they are shown (many of them being planned for specific sites), I aim to expand the limitations of painting as a medium.
