 Something beautiful can be found in wisps of cloud where sun comes in, in the clear sky, or even in a breeze.
However, in our daily life, we can easily ignore it, not to mention finding it out or embracing it.
On the other hand, arts sometimes seem to exist only for certain artists and do not blend in with our ordinary life.
After all, those who try to appreciate arts simply become takers, and they tend not to receive art voluntarily.
The landscape that has past hundreds of seasons spreads in front of us, and it exists not only for artists but also for ourselves.

The series of "SHO-LO" works have intrigue to trigger something, like turning on a power supply. With its crisp existence, the works intend to bring about our closed sensibility. Then, the beautifulness we personally find and gather will enrich our day once again.

The landscape restores its original color, and our daily life becomes lively. Our life goes on, with our tactile sensation of feeling beauty.
