KAWABATA

Born: 1986

Hometown: Osaka

Based in: Osaka

Using paper, acrylic paint, and pieces of wood as materials.
Drawing, printing, and image editing app are used to create collages.
I cherish encounters with the "form of the beginning and the end" of a story, which I find through playing with colors.
