Hitori7

In 2017, at the age of 33, he started creating sculptures as a self-taught sculptor and currently works in New York City.

Previously, he worked as an accountant in a company for 12 years. He also has no educational background in art. However, at the age of 37, he could no longer contain his passion for creating and jumped into the art world. He realizes that he is crazy, but now he is ready to try anything.

His creativity starts with negative emotions. He hates the human ego. We kill people, animals, and nature to better our own lives. Including himself. Of course, he loves his family, and his friends, and he would like you too. But when he creates, the negativity overflows. In particular, it is the human ego towards nature.

His works are mainly made from discarded wood and concrete. The wood is a symbol of nature and the concrete is a symbol of artificial objects.

The wood is a symbol of nature and the concrete is a symbol of humans.

He sometimes reuses discarded wood from the sidewalks of Manhattan.

The reason concrete is a symbol of humans is because, according to one paper, concrete is the largest total amount of artificial material on the planet.

Concrete in his work often represents architecture. He is mainly inspired by Russian avant-garde architecture, which incorporates elements of art into architecture. By attempting to reimport from architecture to art, he is expressing a kind of human rationalism.

These materials are used to represent the domination of nature by humans. And there is a small space between the wood and the concrete. This is a message that "there must be a certain distance between nature and humans. It is a kind of social distance. Humans should pay more attention to nature."

He creates his works with this in mind.

Artist statement:

“My creativity starts with negative emotions. The negativity overflows. In particular, it is the human ego towards nature.”
