I creates glass boxes that feature intricate designs inspired by nature and are intended to hold precious items. I believes that something ‘precious’ is something that embraces temporality and holds hope for the future: a ring, a stone, a leaf or even the air, something thats value is not determined by others but which reflects a person’s life. Thus, my glass boxes are titled ‘ときの箱 (Toki no Hako) - The Box of Time.’ Created using a kiln casting technique followed by a long process of coldworking, carving and molding, and sandblasting, I hopes that my ‘boxes of time’ will enrich the lives of those who use them and that these will help them reconsider things we tend to forget.
