This passage is a tribute to the diverse experiences of my life that transcend conventional perceptions and invite a broad audience to appreciate my reality. With a background in mechanical engineering and mathematics, coupled with 15 years of crafting automation and CNC machines, I have developed an unparalleled connection with machines, recognizing their distinct personalities. Machines challenge the limits of human perception, emphasizing that true beauty often lies beneath the surface, waiting to be explored.

The art is an invitation to see the world differently, encouraging all audiences, regardless of one's level of predispositions, an opportunity to engage with the world in a more profound and unbiased way. My work celebrates imperfections, hidden complexity, and the elegance found within simplicity. A message of celebrating differences, cherishing imperfections, and nurturing a global community based on love, empathy, and the shared human experience.

In a complex and divided world, the art reminds us of our commonality and the importance of coming together. Through my art, I reflect on the history and complex legacy that still influences Okinawa today, fostering a deeper awareness of it’s past and present reality. I aim to inspire positive change through compassion and the beauty of simplicity. The passage also underscores the value of learning and true wealth, which extends beyond material gains. Overall, the passage highlights my unique perspective on art, mathematics, and human connection, emphasizing the beauty that can be found beneath the surface and in shared experiences.

The Convergence of
Mathematics, engineering, art and hidden complexities

The artistic intention is one of universal accessibility, simplicity, and the celebration of human connection. Through the convergence of mathematics, engineering, art, and hidden complexity, my work is an invitation to see the world from a different perspective. Inviting all observers, regardless of their level of vision or their predispositions, to engage with the world and its inhabitants in a more profound and open-minded way.

Each piece tells a story, not just of its creation, but of the complex dance between appearances and truths, challenging us to seek out the remarkable within the seemingly ordinary. Look beyond superficial judgments and engage with the complexities of each person's narrative. Uniqueness and beauty of the Imperfections; the specific wood grain and manufacturing variations make each piece of art truly unique. Flaws and defects are celebrated as they contribute to the individual character and life of each piece. Let us celebrate the beauty and elegance found in simplicity. Simple designs have an inherent charm, subtle complexities with intricate details that remain unobtrusive to casual observers waiting to be uncovered by those who are keen to explore and delve into the depths of mathematical and geometric designs.

Within the profound beauty of simplicity it is the hope that my art serves as a reminder of our shared humanity and the importance of coming together. It is a call to celebrate our differences, cherish our imperfections, and nurture a global community built on love, empathy, and a deep appreciation for the beauty of our common experience. I believe that we are all interconnected, breathing the same air and sharing this world with each other. In an increasingly complex and divided world, it is essential that we recognize our commonalities and come together with understanding.
