Blog postWhen I was 6, I discovered video games. My world was changed forever. Then I learned how to code, when I was 10. And I wanted to create games myself. Now I am an artist, and I still kept this part of myself. I like to discover how it can be interpreted in different ways.

Blog postAfter the past election, it was hard to function in a proper way. People started accusing me of being a republican. Even though I did artworks criticizing Donald J. Trump long before his inauguration, I still hear these days: ‘You don’t criticize him (enough). You must be pro Trump!’ First of all, if you don’t eat apples, it doesn’t mean you don’t like them. And vice versa. Secondly, it doesn’t matter who you are these day3 years ago Read more

Blog post“Reinvestigating Frida Kahlo’s famous photograph by Nickolas Murray (1937) which graced the cover of Vogue. Kay’s distortion seeks to challenge her reality: one may see her as a saint, someone else would say she was a sinner. Frida is juxtaposed against a page from The Holy Bible and overlaid with primal writings and covered in encaustic wax; metaphors for Absolute Truth. The frame creates a dark and morbid feeling.” (Erika Hirugami, 2015 years ago Read more

Blog postOn October 23rd, we were able to observe a partial solar eclipse in Los Angeles. During that time, the circles of illumination looked like half-moons. They repeated a shape of a light source (the sun). And because the sun was partially blocked, they became something else. The same effect can be seen in optics and in photography, when we blur out a background and see circles of confusion in the back. Many enthusia6 years ago Read more

Blog postThree questions we should ask ourselves before starting a project:
What am I going to do? Why am I going to do this? And how am I going to achieve it? These questions should help to clarify our thinking and organize the process in the best way possible.

$5.99
The book is a highlight of a journey through a year of preparing and making Meaniningmization art show in Los Angeles. It is a collection of essays written by an artist.
«During the earliest stages of my life I recall having a fascination with visual media. Even before I learned to make sense of words I was deeply interested in imagery. I would make up stories based on the pictures I encountered, a tradition which I’ve carried to this day. As a child my parents and I would invest our leisure time visiting theaters, the opera and various museums. Both of whom valued aesthetic practices vastly throughout their lives and instilled within me a deep respect for all forms of art. I recall their interest in supporting emerging artists as a form of investment.»
