SHIDACHI TOMO

I live in Karuizawa Town, Nagano Prefecture, at the foot of Mount Asama.
The land next to my house is a land that is becoming a semi-virgin forest, and in the summer,
A large group of fern appears, and you will be overwhelmed by its undulating series.
What you feel in such a place is the state of the world called Uwelt*.
In the seemingly quiet world, there are countless subjects, each of whom has a different role in space, time, and so on.
It has its own sense and quietly expands its world.
I've often felt that I'm not good at words and can't organize
I feel like I swallowed it whole. The rough tactile sensation
I think it happens when you come into contact with a world that is different from the world you take for granted.
While there are countless ummworlds, their boundaries are vague and they accept each other.
When I suddenly encounter a foreign world, something inside of me responds to it, launching a strange sensation.
I want to listen to that feeling and draw a picture.
