Drawn during a deeply immersive painting period. What unfolded felt like an explosion from another realm, chaotic and alive, yet somehow guided by unseen rhythms.

Emerged from the love for hip-hop dance. A dance shoe appeared almost intuitively, unplanned yet unmistakable. Upon closer look, a blue dragon’s face is subtly hidden along the shin area, and the entire canvas is touched with that evokes moonlight filtering through movement.

Originally drawn in ballpoint pen while the artist lived in Zushi for seven years. After moving, she colored it primarily with water-based marker pens. Rather than outlining distinct figures, the original sketch consisted of countless circular shapes. Adding color to it later felt like filling in her own coloring book.

Inspired by tropical flora, this piece gradually revealed a web of white lines toward the end of its creation. While reflecting on plants such as avocado and olive, various animals emerged within the layers, dragons among them. Their presence felt like silent guardians. The time-lapse of the work was posted on Instagram.

While working on this piece, the artist was captivated by an image of a baby bat found online. Its adorably unfamiliar face left a lasting impression. The artist later visited the zoo in Ueno to observe the creatures. The enclosures felt too small and made the artist sad, yet the bats' wings and movements were strikingly beautiful. A small bat clinging to an apple helped the artist grasp the animal’s scale in a visceral way. Through the process of painting, a bat’s right arm, a front-facing face, and even the face of a dog emerged. The piece eventually came to feel like a visual metaphor for the beginning of life itself, and thus came to be titled Bats.
