EYE
Interview (2020)

How have you spent your time during quarantine/lockdown?

I tried out new software, and while sunbathing and cycling, I saw my daily life and art in a new light.

Could you elaborate in more detail about what you saw in a new light?

It was a sort of hope, you could say; I couldn’t help but rely more on my own feelings in regards to the delicate sequence of daily life and the foundations that I had unknowingly made. That is, I was close to re-recognizing art as a supporting pillar, and in the behavior of people in situations of daily life when viewed from there, — you could say, the softness or gentleness that adapted to automatically minimize the effects and atrophy— I think that what I saw in a new light were these sort of things and the comparison of art.

Please tell us what your thoughts were when PAM contacted you to be a part of Positive Messages?

I had not really grasped the outline of the project, but nevertheless there were things that reached my core, as usual, and I thought: “I need to be part of this project”.

Please tell us the thoughts and background behind the work you provided for this project.

Despite feeling that the state of government and the stay-at-home orders under the pandemic situation were being analyzed at the surface level, what I felt through music and creation was in exact opposition to that, so I thought of those things and made my choice.
