I'm obsessed with thinking about "beliefs" or "believing". I had been stuck in others' beliefs which caused my trauma for more than 30years, and found it was nonsense. So I want to make my artwork to think what beliefs are.

This is a kind of personal reason, but I think most people have beliefs too whether they notice or not.

To think about what believing is, I often mention to all kinds of stories like myths, folk tales, concurrently with some beliefs.
