“Paradoxically, living in Manhattan made me realise how much nature pervades urban life in Japan. When I moved back to Tokyo, I rediscovered how present Shintoism is in the city. I felt like nature was a part of the human soul, something eternal, something poetic and beautiful. You could say I work in response to urban life, yet express myself by depicting nature. The extremes of nature and urban life continue to inspire my work today.”
Kahori Maki
