Kushi (Comb)
Creating primarily two-dimensional works inspired by natural motifs, with roots in Japanese painting. In recent years, I've focused on expressing the phenomenon of pure silver leaf sulfuration. By following drawings with foil stamping and allowing natural sulfuration, I attempt to express an awareness of the aura and ever-changing existence of nature.
