Socks all muddy. What if Mom gets angry at me...? An animation created based on memories from early childhood.

A man drinks the water in a glass and falls asleep. An entity watches over him from above the clouds.... Around us, furniture, houses, trees, animals, and people are born, disappear, and are born again.

Technique: Colored pencil and Crayon drawing Water is in the cup. Water goes to the sky and extends to outer space. Then return to the ground. Its iteration. The theme of this work is the circulation of everything. "A human being is like water, the state of putting water in a water bottle is a human being, and it has an ego and personality by a water bottle, but if it breaks the water bottle, everything is the same water." This work progressed in a single cut like the flow of water, so that the beginning and the end are looped at the same cut.

I love rice balls. Let’s pinch the rice grains stuck to our mouths and watch rice grow to cheerful music!

Animation: Ikuo Kato Clay was placed on glass and filmed with light shining from below.
