Every time I come face to face with animals, I feel that the dialogue is not between "human" and "animal," but between individual and individual. It's not just a dog, it's not just a monkey, it's one and only "life" versus "life" in the world.I would like to continue to make portrait sculptures of animals while facing such things. There are lives that I want many people to know about.I would like to continue my work to deliver them.
