Exhibited at ZAZ10 Times Square Gallery, New York

Inspired by the myth of the Umibōzu, this dual-channel

video installation navigates the ocean’s quiet

contradictions—its surface, a space of solitude and

reflection, yet beneath it, an unseen force stirs.

The Umibōzu emerges as a fleeting presence, a

specter of uncertainty, embodying the way anxieties

rise without warning, unsettling the stillness. The ocean,

both refuge and reckoning, mirrors the shifting

currents of the mind, where fear and calm coexist,

indistinguishable until the moment they surface,

highlighting the complex interplay of our

innermost fears and desires.
