Recipient of the Special Jury Prize (Masahiro Takahashi Prize and Koji Yoshida Prize) at Independent Tokyo 2022. Since then, she has exhibited widely both in Japan and abroad, including K Auction and Paradise City Hotel in Korea, and ART TAIPEI in Taiwan. Her creative activities extend beyond the boundaries of art and design, including work on the umbrella and rain goods brand KASANOWA and artwork for KUNtea.

The motif of masks, which she repeatedly depicts, has been cherished worldwide as objects imbued with the power of gods, spirits, and animals. In Japan, masks appear as incarnations of gods in traditional theater, while in festivals they are passed down as items of laughter, humor, and good fortune.

At the same time, masks serve as devices that conceal facial features, expressions, race, and gender, acting as “amulets” to protect from the outside world and as “symbols of oppression.” Embracing this duality, she captures the faint remnants of salvation and hope in modern society, portraying herself as an “outlier”.
