"Something is there."

It is between reticence and silence.
While it is raining in the middle of the night
And the sound of the rain stops for a moment,
I know that I am itching for doing something.
And I draw between a rain drop and drops.
"Something is there." as a title
I wonder whether what I regard a thing as “visible” is real or not. Is it really such?
In fact, "what is invisible" moves something in my mind and make me to create my work.

I realize difficulty of perception and interest in recognition.
"Something is there."
It is the conversation with “visible thing and invisible thing.”
Then it is an encounter that confronts with a various original images,
It leaves the reverberations of a gaze.

Although it is not visible, it is art expression to make visible what nobody is visible.
The image produced from unconscious becomes independent.
It is active imagination which carries out self-multiplication just like organic matter.
And it is imagination which integrates with being consciousness and unconscious.
Then the imagination encounter with the various original images unexpectedly.
It is an archetypal image which comes to me one after another unconsciously.
This is in the state which progresses without the room for an intentional behavior.
I would like to also say the experience and the reverberation of the physical feeling
which the viewers perceived as art expression.
The title of this exhibition presents the occasion that audience gets to drift
in the world of active imaginative power at the exhibition.
