Born in Japan
Using ceramics, I express this sentiment through mushrooms—a motif I hold close to my heart. Mushrooms, in their varied forms and textures, possess a universal charm. In nature, they play a crucial role as fungi, supporting the life around them. This unseen yet essential force resembles love in our emotional lives—an invisible but vital force that sustains us. Just as life cannot thrive without fungi, our hearts cannot flourish without love.
