Looking at the animals and nature that suffer and disappear due to humans, I felt disappointment and contempt for humans. And I tried to heal that feeling through my work. The being born in that process is **'MiMi'**. MiMi is a being who comforts and heals injured living things. While continuing to work imagining where MiMi's energy comes from, I naturally came to think about the Earth, the universe, and life. Looking at the life that came into existence through countless hours and evolution, I came to the thought that humans, whom I despised, are also precious beings born in that long flow of life. So my work gradually expanded from healing life to making humans happy. This is because I believe that only when humans are happy can they have the余裕 to look at and care for other living things. The peaches that appear in recent works are a medium of happiness that pleases the human five senses. I hope that small happiness does not end with me but flows to other people, animals, and nature. I am not drawing peaches, but the moment when happiness flows to other living things.
