Title
Rebirth

Work Description
“We do not come into this world by our own will, but through the choices and prayers of others. Yet we are called to take responsibility for our existence: to face joy, pain, and despair, and still choose rebirth.

My work explores this longing through Japanese folktales, Shinto and Buddhist teachings, and folk traditions. Drawing line by line with a pen becomes an act akin to shakyō, the devotional copying of sutras. In the space between black and white, I give form to prayer.”
