A young woman in a kimono is absorbed in thought, while swallows move lightly across the sky above her.The work reflects a simple awareness: we are part of nature, and nature is part of us. Plants, animals, and all living beings exist within one interconnected field.

To care for nature is also to care for ourselves.

mulberry paper with collage.

Because this paper is handmade, each sheet is unique. The dimensions may vary slightly, and small differences in the edges or surface are part of the character of the paper.

Every sheet passes through the hands of its maker. During the papermaking process, some pulp may extend slightly beyond the mould or remain just within its edges, creating the beautiful, irregular deckled edges that make handmade paper so special.

I deliberately never frame my handmade paper with a mat or passe-partout that hides these edges. To me, they are an essential part of the artwork. They add texture, character and a sense of authenticity — a visible reminder that the paper was made by hand.

This is precisely why I choose handmade paper: to preserve the human touch and allow the traces of the making process to remain visible.
