Majoring in Textile Arts at university inspired me to begin creating artworks using my own techniques in hand and machine embroidery.

In the WARP series, layers of thread appear as intentional glitches, created by manipulating the sewing machine—an everyday tool—to generate unexpected textures and depth.

In the KNOTS series, I construct embroidery without using fabric as a base, building each piece only with thread.

These various embroidery techniques allow me to explore life forms, the origins of things, and states of evolution.

I am deeply interested in how errors or failures—often seen as negative—can bring new values and ways of thinking into the world.
