Definition of Metaphysical Body

It is an unknown but closest territory to us. It is an empty and porous object but it has smooth density. It is an equivocal and vacant form but it distinguishes an individual from the others. It is a shape which unites “inside and outside” and “surface and back”, defines an individual, and expresses boundary between ego and self-consciousness.

Artist's statement about a current series of works

It is a body which is reflecting man’s consciousness and turning into fetish. The human body has changed like the characters of animation. It has been symbolized and stereotyped by the girls, and it has created the new proportion in the sub-cultural age. It might be viewed to be the evolution cloned by the fusion of information and technology.. The body as the whole of one’s desire gives an impression that it is something anonymous and empty like a large number of human extruded one after another, but, on the other hand, its contour expresses the charm that we cannot see in daily routinism.. I have done a current series of works, taking up the form of the body as the motif, which has attracted me.
