I am often overcome with gratitude and astonishment when I reflect on all the steps that brought me here. That I managed to move to Brooklyn, a place that I had dreamed for years I could call home.

This show is about the breadcrumbs I followed, the places I would become a regular at, and the people who came in my life to make the transition from Japan to New York possible.

My painting selection entitled The Regular — on display at Náko from August 2nd-August 31st.
