Statement
After graduating from art university, I attended cooking school and received my chef's license; I make use of this background by creating works around the theme of food. Using common foods like hamburgers and cakes, I attempt to express the present circumstances and societal issues critically and simply. In recent years, I have been grappling with works which focus on practical action in real society, such as a work in which a homeless person from LA and a hamburger bite into each other, which stands on the streets of Amsterdam and draws in ordinary people.
