HER SECOND SOLO EXHIBITION IN TOKYO, ENTITLED
« SELF PROMISE » IS PRESENTED AT PARADISO GALLERY IN YOYOGI-UEHARA.
EXPLANATION OF THE EXHIBITION :
« INTERESTED IN THE JAPANESE LANGUAGE WHICH I LEARNED FROM THE AGE OF THIRTEEN, I PROMISE MYSELF THAT ONE DAY I WILL LIVE IN JAPAN. IN 2019, AT THE AGE OF 24, I STUDIED FOR A SEMESTER IN TOKYO, A CITY THAT I ADMIRED THROUGH MY DRAMAS. I PROMISE MYSELF THAT ONE DAY I WILL LIVE IN JAPAN LONGER. ONCE I GRADUATE, I PUT THIS WELL-THOUGHT-OUT PLAN INTO ACTION.
THE LOVE FOR JAPAN REMAINS THE SAME, BUT THE TEENAGER WHO LOVED THE COUNTRY NO LONGER EXISTED.
AS AN GRADUATED ADULT, I QUESTION MYSELF ABOUT THE LIFE I REALLY WANT TO LEAD.THE MORE THINGS BECOME CONCRETE, THE MORE CERTAINTIES BECOME UNCERTAIN : “WHY DO I FEEL SO ATTRACTED TO A COUNTRY AT THE END OF THE WORLD ? » “IS IT A MISTAKE TO LEAVE EVERYTHING AND START AGAIN FROM SCRATCH SOMEWHERE ELSE ? »
« SELF-PROMISE » RECOUNTS MY QUESTIONING, DOUBTS, BUT ALSO THIS PROMISE TO MYSELF TO FOLLOW MY HEART INTO THE UNKNOWN. THE ILLUSTRATIONS WERE PRODUCED DURING THE YEAR 2024, IN FRANCE.
THE ILLUSTRATIONS « DESTINY », « TERE TERE SHIMATTA », « BEAUTY DYSMORPHIA », « BREAKFAST PARTY », « SAVIOR », « OVERTHINKING », « IMPOSTOR SYNDROME », « ATTENDONS LE PROCHAIN ORAGE », THE SERIES « DENWA », « THIS LOVE WAS PAINFUL, HELLISH, AND NOT FUNNY », « GREEDY », « KNIFE IN THE BACK », « NAKAMA » AND THE ZINE « BURNING DESIRE UNTIL TOMORROW » ARE FEATURED.
