The world of the subconscious mind experienced through meditation and qigong is expressed in a surrealistic world view using a natural motif as inspiration. Interpreting the sense of subconsciousness as the connection between the mind and the body, all works are improvised in order to express one’s physical sense.
“Interpret the sense of subconsciousness experienced by meditation and qigong as emotional memory memorized in the body, and express the micro and macro world view from the cells of the body to the universe using the motif of nature in the world of surrealism. All work steps are improvised in order to give an intuitive sense of subconsciousness.” —Tomoki Uematsu
