In autumn, lacquer trees show their beautiful red leaves. The lacquer sap collected from these trees has many possibilities for expression, and I am particularly fascinated by the age-old technique of deactivated dry lacquer.
I create undulating relief-like works with a sense of life and the beauty of their appearance that I receive from nature, such as flowers and small birds.
