I am a London-based multidisciplinary artist. My practice explores how idealised images of women, repeated throughout society like ghosts of ideals, accumulate within the body and memory, shaping individual perceptions, behaviours, and ways of being. Working across sculpture, installation, and moving image, I use materials such as metal, silicone, clay, language, and sound.

​

Growing up as a woman in Tokyo, Japan, I experienced a culture in which bodies are evaluated through appearance-driven standards, women's bodies are treated as objects of consumption, and sexual violence embedded in everyday life is often overlooked through silence. These forces do not only manifest as explicit forms of violence; they permeate advertisements, magazines, urban space, social media, and everyday conversations, repeatedly inscribing themselves onto both consciousness and the body.

​

My artistic process begins with personal histories, experiences, and memories. Drawing upon wounds, discomforts, and words that have been silenced or rendered absent, I investigate intangible social signifiers that gradually infiltrate the individual and eventually come to operate as if they were one's own thoughts, feelings, and desires. Through this process, I seek to expose and recontextualise the often invisible pressures, roles, and rules embedded within everyday life that shape our sense of self.

Situated at the intersection of personal experience and social structures, my practice examines how normative values become internalised and embodied. Through my work, I challenge assumptions that are accepted as natural or inevitable, questioning how these structures enter the body and come to shape thought, perception, and behaviour.
