Her work is abstract, because those lines are not understandable by everyone. In her installation works, I saw two kinds of art. Most art is guided by abstraction, but at the same time as abstraction, there is also rational logic. For example, in the above work, there are structured boats and black lines fishing from the air. These two elements are intertwined, which caught my eye.
-An Video that gives me a lot of inspiration-

In terms of the arrangement of space, I want to show a sense of space, because I think the sense of space is the most important in terms of showing the form of envelopment. I bought a lot of red wool, and I want them to be my main materials. I bought the thick and fine wool, and I think that I can make them together and line up.
