Change in environment always invites me into the change in the ways of thinking. I began to see new lights and its movement started to reflect on my imagination. After moving into the new apartment in March, I wanted to create a piece that will integrate all the small elements from nature that captivates me in daily life. Something that I could come back to, something that will remind me what I am and what I love. Not for someone, just me.
The new challenge was to capture the color and lights into free organic shapes. Feeling like a painter, my journey of layering colors started to begin.
Combined different types of glass including tempered glass, fired tempered glass, ground glass and textured glass. Lining up attaching along the flow of the colors, during my creation high I did see my glasses dancing!
After 2 months of work, my first quadruplets are now hanging in our living room with full of lights.
" ELEMENTS "
Acrylic, glass on board 2019
Fundamental elements to appreciate life.
ELEMENT #1
Warm fuzzy feeling of spring
Sweet scent of fresh flowers
Fondness of kind people around me
ELEMENT #2
Cold tingly touch of water running through my fingers
Feelings of everything being washed away
Water bringing fresh air to my face
ELEMENT #3
Sweet sunshine scent of the soil
Strength of the solid ground
Mother of all nature
ELEMENT #4
Sound of the wind caressing the leaves
Lights pouring from the trees
Combination of fresh born leaves and old vintage leaves
These past 2 months were continuous repetition of considering the purpose of this piece. What does this elements means to me? Where is this going to take me? What would I be able to do after this? The more I put my thoughts into it, the more I got lost. I couldn't come up with the title until the very end. But once the pieces were hung on the wall, the colors were speaking clearly to me. To just appreciate the bases of nature that always guided me to the right direction.
These organic shape mosaic works are also available as commission work. Contact if you're interested in creating a one and only piece for your home.

環境の変化は常に新しい物の味方を教えてくれるようで、最近では新しい光やその動きが想像力を掻き立てます。３月に新居で引っ越してからはそんな日々の小さな自然が魅せてくれる要素を閉じ込めた作品をどうしても作りたくて思考を巡らせていました。どんな時でもそこに帰ってこれるような作品を、なぜ私が創り続けるのかを思い出させてくれるような、誰の為でもない私だけのものを。
挑戦は通常とは違うオーガニックなベースに色を閉じ込めること。画家の気分で色素を重ねていく日々が続きます。
今回は強化ガラス、熱した強化ガラス、磨りガラス、模様ガラスの何種類か使いました。色素の流れに合わせてガラスを並べていく制作ハイの作業中、確かにガラスが踊っているように見えたのです。
