She creates, unlike general image of candles to give a “healing and warmth”, art works using candles as a material for “lighting the fire to the Japanese heart” which has been felt the beauty in “fragility and unstable”. For this exhibition, she will exhibit new 10 more works themed as “aspect”, that means the appearance of someone or something existing always, on the wall of the gallery. Traces of various “things” left on the candles are to dissolve the time that has been stopped and to flow out gradually with the new time after lighting a fire.
