Nature demonstrates ambivalence towards gentleness and dramatic changes.

We find comfort and anxiety to various vague and amorphous forms.
So,when we encounter a new experience, it challenges our personal history of emotions and
memory as we attempt to endow meanings on the experience, and to seek peace of mind.

" The eternal flower" is created through two processes; a solar photo-chemical process called cyanotype,
and a mathematical form, the object I named as "Lucies In the Skay with Diamond".
The Photosensitizer draws the exposure forms by the encounter of the behavior of a liquid and Japanese paper.
And It's exposed under one day's sunshine with part hidden by Lucies's existence and its color effect.
Aspects of exposure time can be resealed in the print (e.g., the position of the sun, the amount of cloud cover,
and the amount of ultraviolet rays).
At first glance, it is always as a chance or concidental encounter,
but of course it is always grounded in the chemical and mathematic process.
The mysteries of life and death by disease and reproductive behaviors provide an indication of the interaction
between memory and the natural world.

The purpose of my work is to interpret nature.
