Deer in the Noise World- 7 (2022) at Whitestone Gallery

「ノイズの中にいる鹿」

Acrylic on Canvas, panel

1621 x 1303cm (length x width)

Concept

In my painting, a deer stands like a phantom among fragments of noise that float in a silent world. The presence of the deer alludes to my own experience of wearing a hearing aid, as deer are known to be sensitive to sounds. In their uncertain state within the pink fog, the deer sense the constantly shifting sounds, vibrations, and words. Depicting such a world involves being mindful of the boundary between oneself and others, enabling effective communication. Ultimately, I aspire to express the deer within the dense mist in order to break through the unknown and create new possibilities for dialogue.

無音世界にノイズの断片が浮かび上がり、幻影のような鹿が佇まいをしている。鹿は音に敏感な生き物であり、また滅びゆく野生動物である。鹿は、その不確かな状態で、刻々と変化していく音や振動、言葉を感じ取っている。このような世界を表現することは、自分と他者の境界について着目することであり、自ら未知の世界を突破していくことで新たな対話の可能性を生み出すのだという願いを込めている。
