Japan is a land of contrasts. On the surface it appears the culture has taken on American and European characteristics, but behind this Western façade, Japan's ancient and traditional philosophies have survived unchanged. I was raised among a mixture of East and West. In my work I explore this chaotic co-existence…I draw from the ancient and the contemporary to express the mismatched combinations and hodgepodge that is Japanese daily life.
