作家のことば

　以前より動物に興味を持って制作しています。最近は、特にオランウータンを取材しています。取材中は、ほとんど定位置に座して動かないことが多いですが、ひと度行動すると、その大きな堂々とした姿に圧倒されます。また座している姿は、今の時代の行く末をじっと見据えているように感じます。

I have been interested in animals for some time and have been producing them. Recently, I have been particularly interested in orangutans. During interviews, I often sit motionless in a fixed position, but once I see them in action, I am overwhelmed by their large, imposing figures. Once in action, I am overwhelmed by their large, imposing figures. I also feel that the way they are sitting makes me feel as if they are staring intently at the future of the current era.
