@araisatoko.yoshiashi ：”Since the very beginning of my practice, I have always started a work from something extremely small. I want to render these trivial things with earnest care, yet in the final piece, the meanings they carry only grow more elusive.

The entry point for these minute subjects varies—sometimes it comes from lived experience, sometimes from a simple intuitive response to a particular color or form. When a work does stem from personal experience, I consciously avoid letting the emotional undertones surface too overtly in the finished piece.“
