Purpose of the residency
I’m joining this research residency to nurture my growth as a visual storyteller. Immersing myself in a new culture feels like a beautiful way to find fresh inspiration and connect more deeply with my work, exploring new ideas, techniques, and approaches. I’m hoping this experience will open up new avenues for creativity and help me see the world, and my art, in a new and exciting light.
Plan during the residency
During the residency, I’m excited to explore traditional Japanese mythology and delve into its stories and symbols to understand their connection to universal human experiences. Japan’s deep cultural and historical bond with the sea fascinates me, and I’m keen to experiment with new ways of creating images based on this research. I’m also looking to blend these ancient myths with the personal stories of contemporary Japanese youth, creating a visual narrative that connects the past with the present.
