The experimental series of artworks, "Living One's Time like Flowing Water," strives to convey the concept of "time lived by oneself" as simply and as fluidly as possible. In contrast to themes like the enigmatic and unanswerable "unconscious," this series directly delves into the realm of "emotions" as its primary focus. It presents what is felt and what is seen in the most straightforward manner, capturing the occasional moments of clarity within the mundane rhythm of daily life, all through the lens of simple and beautiful paintings. Regarding the artistic approach employed in this series, it draws upon the classical techniques of "Japanese painting." It begins with the foundation of traditional Japanese painting techniques and integrates them with novel expressive methods, resulting in a unique and personal approach to artistic creation.
