BUGENDAI means Infinity.

For this piece, I used the biggest brush I could find. It was a dream come true! Heavy with ink, it felt like the broom of a witch. Infinity is just a circle but it became so intense as I was trying to make the perfect one until I finally let go. Perfection does not exist in my world.

CHUAN (old Chinese character) means "What a LIfe!"

This work came as an accident. I was working on the "kanji: Dance" and could not get it to this day, which is quite paradoxical as I was a professional dancer. I made this one thinking it was a modification. When a friend of mine translated it for me and gave me the real meaning. I thought it was very appropriate for our time, as it was created in 2020.

Hiyaku means to Jump, to Leap.

This piece for me feels like taking a leap of faith. From a young age, I like to jump into new adventures not knowing what the result will be. I always felt back safely on my two feet rich with new friends and fresh knowledge. I like the top part of this piece, as I see an Arabic style of writing. It gave me the desire to study the Arabic alphabet so that I can mix both artforms in the future.

MU means Nothingness.

Gyosho style Shodo is quite a challenge for me as it is not as natural as Sosho style. As an artist and creator, I learned a long time ago that to expand my knowledge, I needed to push my boundaries. To be truthful, it always brought me to unknown spaces that I learned to cherish. This piece took a very long time to manifest itself.
