私はイカそのものでイカを描いている。 それは単なる消費ではなく、命を取り込み、変換し、表現へと循環させる行為である。アオリイカとコウイカから取り出したイカ墨とイカ甲を材料にし、精製されたイカ由来のみの色のセピア顔料とイカ胡粉を用いて描く。 海に生きて輝くイカの眼は人工物を超えた完璧さを示し、死後の眼はなお強烈な生命の残光を宿す。その畏怖に囚われ、 私はイカを食し、夢に見て、画材に変え 、描かずにはいられない。人間に必要なのはイカのタンパク質だけでなく、イカの持つしなやかさや透明感である。イカは資源ではなく命であり、自然から美と生を世界にもたらす神のような存在だ。 私はイカの眼を見つめイカの眼に見返され、イカに生かされながら、イカ描き続けている。

Notes on Materials and Care

Placing the artwork near windows or in environments where humidity fluctuates—such as kitchens or bathrooms—may cause deterioration or mold growth. Please avoid displaying the work in such locations.
Artist Statement
I paint squid using squid itself.
This is not an act of mere consumption, but one of incorporation, transformation, and circulation—taking life into the body of the work and returning it as expression.
I use squid ink and cuttlefish bone taken from bigfin reef squid and cuttlefish, refining them into sepia pigment and gofun made exclusively from squid-derived materials.
The eye of a squid, alive in the sea, possesses a perfection that surpasses anything artificial; even after death, the eye retains an intense afterglow of life. Captivated by this sense of awe, I cannot help but eat squid, dream of squid, turn them into painting materials, and paint them.
What humans need is not only the protein of squid, but also the suppleness and transparency they embody.
Squid are not resources—they are lives, godlike beings that bring beauty and vitality into the world through nature.
I gaze into the eyes of squid and am gazed back at in return.
Sustained by squid, I continue to paint squid.
