Brâncuși taught Modigliani the technique of direct carving. He created sculptures of heads and caryatids (sculpted female figures used as columns in architecture).
created in stone and has a transcendental atmosphere, like ancient goddesses who became pillars.」
Between Giacometti and his model was a distance that he felt difficult to overcome. Blocked by the distance, his model looks thin. As a result of attempting to accurately recreate what he saw, Giacometti's work became a deep analysis of the human form and still shows the fresh-looking marks of the artist's fingers.」
Affinity means a similarity of characteristics. This work is composed of relationships of affinity, such as flat and curved surfaces, and forms crawling on the floor and forms along the wall. The artist found an endless expanse in the rows of roof tiles of the city of Kyoto and commented that he was fascinated by the gently-curved
Regarded to be a master of portrait sculpture, Asakura's superior skills of observation and his ability to express a 3-dimensional form are also obvious in his sculptures of animals.

The dry earth of southern Italy, olive trees with roots reaching down deep into that earth, a humble house made from stones piled up, and a donkey. According to the artist, he wanted to give form to this landscape where it seems as though time stands still.」
Tada's art integrated architecture with outside spaces. The surrounding scenery reflected in the mirror finish of this piece is transformed and a new relationship with humans and the environment is born. The sleek form and reflecting light are used to create a new world of light and form」
The recumbent figure and the base of the sculpture formed in the shape of a cushion combine together as one, while the roundness of the jet-black body and the softness of the cushion complement each other beautifully.

My creative activity is the act of capturing the formless atmosphere floating in the world and considering what it is and where it comes from.
In a quiet residential area, there was a quaint Western-style house built in the early Showa period. Every time I passed the house, I observed the various plants growing there that added seasonal color to the house. Some years later, by a fortunate chance, I was able to exhibit my works there. The same as the exterior of the building, the interior was a beautiful harmony of retro design and plaster, a space where history comes alive with a mixture of nostalgia and melancholy.

In a land far away, a young girl in traditional clothing was standing with a composed appearance. She was staring into the distance. But amidst her childlike innocence, her expression seemed somewhat strained, as if she was carrying some kind of burden.
Some time later, I created a work with a certain young girl as the model. The same atmosphere overlaps in the expressions of the two girls of different nationalities and cultures, as they gaze off into the distance, transcending time.
