I wanted to create a piece that would disappear into the wind and out of sight. That is not to deny the existence of sculpture, but I dreamed of things beyond the mundane, like a hidden and unrequited love, or a dangerous relationship. Just as no day can escape a sunset, there is no night without dawn. Amid painful, submerged secrets, I felt the existence of sustenance that nurtures passion.

The two cars next to the approach path to Hakusan shrine bothered me, but they seemed to have some kind of connection with the place. It looked like someone had made an offering of a rusted car with broken glass and a red compact car that looked ready to go any time. Even so, they bothered me, and therefore, I decided to hide them and make them secret. It seems that, for some things, the more you conceal them, the more something about them remains in view.

In modern times, art is taking the place of religion in bringing transcendent experiences to people. For example, sculpture is a device through which people can see and feel things that are not physically present. With the forest as the stage, I want to unveil stories that can be read and interpreted in many ways.
