I often use pink in my paintings because I believe it is a color with two sides. It can evoke feelings of temptation and desire, yet also convey a sense of gentleness and feminine calm. Pink symbolizes sweetness and softness, but at times it can also express firmness and strength. In my earlier works, I tended to use purer and more vibrant shades, but in this piece, I chose a darker and more subdued tone.

Steadfast tenderness  Rubber ducks symbolize innocence and childhood. I wish to reinterpret them from an adult perspective, imbuing them with both tenderness and resilience (Steadfast tenderness). 

私は作品の中でよくピンク色を使います。それは、この色が二つの側面を持つと感じているからです。ピンクは誘惑や欲望を想起させる一方で、優しさや女性的な穏やかさも表現することができます。甘さや柔らかさの象徴でありながら、同時に強さや芯のある印象も与える色です。以前は純度が高く鮮やかなピンクを多く用いていましたが、今回はより落ち着いた、深みのあるトーンを選びました。

ラバーダック《Steadfast tenderness》ラバーダックは無垢さや幼少期の象徴です。それを大人の視点から見つめ直し、優しさと同時に芯のある強さを与えたいと思いました。
