In 2025, I had the honor of taking the stage at "THE WING TOKYO 2025" alongside my exhibition. Here is the full text of what I shared that day.
What I Felt at the Birth of a Life
Two years ago, when I gave birth to my daughter, I was deeply moved by the miracle of life. While she brought light into my world, I also found myself wondering, "Why is there always so much trouble in this world? Why do people hurt each other?" A life born into this world does not deserve to be hurt or to hurt others.
The Power of a Love-Filled Environment
When surrounded by love, people can gain the strength to have a positive impact on themselves and on others. But today, many people are overwhelmed by stress and loneliness, making it difficult to find peace of mind.
The Healing Power of Art
Art is a powerful way to understand ourselves and others more deeply, and through shared experience and empathy, it offers healing. In Japan, we have a concept called "Yaoyorozu no Kami," or "eight million gods," which means that everything has a spirit. Through art, I hope to express the warmth, beauty, and potential within people, and help others become more aware of how to live fully and richly in their own way.
I truly believe in the power of love within each and every one of us. That belief gives me confidence that we each have the ability to change ourselves and the world for the better. I hope this message helps you feel that same hope too.
