Brave insect shirt 2015
Concept
I am timid like an insect. I have sensitive feelings with regard to sound, mood, or atmosphere. As I find it harder and harder to live in modern society, it is important to feel everything, sensitively, to protect myself. This insect's feeler looks like a sensitive receptor as an antenna to escape from something and it looks like a horn to protect from something as well.
This project focuses on sound, because of my sensitivity to particular sounds and a desire to try to understand how people feel humans or objects indication from hearing or another way. I came across my condition whilst researching, HSP (Highly Sensitive Person). The American psychologist Elaine Aron discovered HSP. According to Aron, HSP has particular characteristics such as being easily overwhelmed by things like bright lights, strong smells, coarse fabrics, or sirens nearby, and so on.
Nevertheless, my feeling is to try to relate to society and people by representing an insect-like shirt. A shirt is a symbol of sociality however, it seems just like an insect's shell as well. It is an unfinished existence, smaller than a human and bigger than this insect. I am timid as a human, but I am brave as an insect.

勇敢な虫のシャツ 2015
コンセプト
私は、大きい音が嫌いで、そんな環境も好まない。なので、喧騒の中で過ごすのは結構辛い。それにもかかわらず、私は社会とつながろうとすることをやめない。
この虫の抜け殻のようなシャツは、人間には小さく、昆虫には大きい、非常に中途半端なサイズである。この巨大な触覚のような袖が生えたシャツを、私は着ることができない。
私は人間としては非常に臆病であるが、虫としては勇気のある、非常に中途半端な存在。
このシャツは私自身のシンボルである。
