Statement
"My interest in art was awakened in the Japanese Schools I frequented in my childhood. At 14, I was sent to learn industrial ceramics, however, I started defining lines or shapes in complex geometry, with colors of flat paint and glazes, exploring the intersection between two and three dimensions, and challenging the possibilities.
