福島県出身。イギリスで写真を学ぶ。福島原発事故を受けて、放射線生物学で知られる琉球大学へ入学。博士後期課程修了。現在、博士研究員。研究成果は論文という形で発表されるが、そこでは語られない物語を写真を通して伝えたい。そして、不安や疑心が顕在化する今日、人々が信じられる作品にしたい。そのためには、自分自身が森羅万象に対して正直でなければならない。南国に馴染みのない私は、パイナップルが花茎の先に実をつけるだけで、オオコウモリが夜空を飛び交うだけで、胸がときめく。一方で、沖縄戦や基地問題などの苦難もある。日々の暮らしを見つめ、作品を通して心を寄せていきたい。

Born and grew up in Fukushima, Japan. Studied photography in UK and entered University of the Ryukyus which is well known for radiation biology responding to the nuclear accident. Graduated with a Ph.D. and currently a postdoctoral researcher. The research achievement is published as the article, but I want to tell the story which isn’t written in there through photographs. Then, in this time period when uneasiness and suspicion have become apparent, I want to create something believable. To do so, I need to be honest to myself. For someone from a northern country, like me, pineapples and flying foxes are very exciting just because they bear fruit on top of the scape and fly around in the night sky. On the other hand, there are pains such as the Battle of Okinawa and the military base issue. I will look at my everyday life and put my heart into these pains through my art works.
