I am a Ceramist who has been studying ceramics for five years and I work with clay and nature. I try to find the connection between clay, ceramic creation and the environment. I am also a digital illustrator and I create commercial cartoon illustrations.

Clay is the primary material in my art practice, both from my personal attachment to the material and from the natural connection between clay and the environment. I try to create works in the natural environment, combining ceramic art and video, in order to convey my understanding of ceramics as a material, as well as my thoughts on the relationship between human beings and the environment.
video
I recorded and edited the production process on video, and I hope that in the video, the production process is like the growth process of a creature whose colour and smooth surface make it look like skin or carapace, which looks out of place in the environment or like a parasitic organism that fits snugly. In fact, this process of making requires me to walk around the city with clay and tools to find the right place, and I have travelled further afield by train to try to find richer environments by the sea, in the forest. This process of getting out and making sculptures outdoors has been personally healing for me, and I hope the viewer finds peace in it as well.
