Contemporary Street Art Infused with Japanese Humor
This body of work explores the quiet intersections between street culture and Japanese sensibility — where bold visual language meets restraint, humor, and pause. Drawing from everyday gestures, domestic moments, and subtle emotional cues, each piece captures an in-between state: observation without intrusion, expression without excess. Together, the works invite viewers to slow down, notice the understated, and find meaning in small, human moments woven into public space.
