Gallery SEIZAN Booth No.N-08

The individuals live in the slightly distorted world.
Those who be reviled as deformed or strange and seen as repelling and unpleasant,
but have accepted their own fate.
Wondered what they are looking at, and thinking of.
The odd, but also comfortable feeling leads you to the intimate world, to find the real voice.
Listening to their voices, I cherish the images that arise and try to create simple and honest representations.
