Latest update from purple sketches

Selfie excerpted from video (Nakanojo Biennale 2025)

Before I knew it, ten months had passed since my last update. I’ve been working on many things every day, but I haven’t been able to keep up with updating this website, which I find a little disappointing.

On the other hand, since starting my newsletter purple sketches in February 2024, I’ve been consistently publishing it once or twice a month. It’s quite unusual for me, but I’ve managed to continue writing regularly, and I use it mainly to share updates about my activities.

As for the presentation of my artworks, I still plan to organize and post them here on my website, though I haven’t yet been able to catch up with that part.

Currently, I’m working on a projection mapping (or video art) piece for a local event in a town on Long Island. Since this type of work exists entirely within the computer, I don’t have to worry about storage space or bulky physical materials, which makes the production process feel a bit lighter. However, it’s always a challenge to balance time, and I often end up working right up to the last minute.

Although updates to this website may be slow, I want to let you know that I am actively working on new projects every day.
Thank you, as always, for your continued support.
