台風が過ぎ去った翌朝を描きました。普遍的な景色を温度や音といった五感を想起させる表現で表すことで鑑賞者個々の「どこかで見たことがある」景色に落とし込む、この過程が絵画表現の本質の一つではないかと考えています。私にとって作品制作と鑑賞はつまるところ内省です。その内省が人によって癒しかもしれず、その内省を他者と共有することが共感に繋がるのかもしれません。共感があることは断絶が起きた時に再び手を取り合うための希望です。心にある抽象的で言葉では追いきれないもの、しかし多くの人の心に存在する「何か」を共有するメディアとして私の作品が存在してくれればと制作しています。この作品が不特定多数の人のそれぞれの記憶の中にある夜明けに繋がればという意味で、英タイトルは不定冠詞をつけています。

I painted the morning after the typhoon had passed. I believe that this process is the essence of pictorial expression, in which a universal scene is transformed into a scene that each viewer “has seen somewhere before” by expressing it in a way that evokes the five senses, such as temperature and sound. For me, the creation and appreciation of artwork is, in essence, introspection. This introspection may be healing for some people, and sharing that introspection with others may lead to empathy. Sympathy is the hope for rejoining hands when there is a disconnection. I create my works in the hope that they will serve as a medium for sharing something that exists in the hearts of many people, something abstract and ineffable in words. The English title is given with an indefinite article because I hope that my work will evoke the dawn in the memories of an unspecified number of people.
