“What seems to move, that is”
In May 2020, the scenery where people disappeared from the city was inorganic and murderous.
The greenery and flowers of the roadside trees that I was used to seeing became even more colorful, and I strongly felt the seasons.
From the flowers that flow without staying in the hands of humans, the speed of the flowering season and the transition of various acts are expressed.

“Automatic Line”
The series of Automatic Line is drawn by a machine called CNC.
CNC is a machine that has been widely used in industrial fields such as factories for a long time. Familiar things are similar to printers.
Using machines is only the choice of tools, but our lives are made up of such industrial machines. Being in such a lifestyle is one of the reasons for choosing a machine.
The components of the painting are no exception, and most of the cloth, crates, paints and tools are made by machine. That is a fact, and it requires the labor of people that cannot be imagined even if it is mass production. Even if the facts are trivial, but how they were made is very confusing and very confusing.

“Flying rough sketch”
It is a picture that thinks about time.
The clock goes clockwise, but I don't feel that time is going clockwise.
The strata overlap vertically due to the overlap of time. The Himekuri calendar also overlaps vertically, but it gets thinner as the day goes on.
As time passes by reading the manga, the time advances sideways while zigzag for each frame.
When I make a picture of the flash, it looks like a "figure". Is it because I want the viewer to understand this inspiration?
It's not something I thought about, but what I feel about time is that the outside of the window gets brighter and darker, and that the paint is overlaid on the painting. What I draw and create is a clock.

"Chaotic garden"
Among the memos I usually write down, there was one that said "disordered garden". I forgot when I made a note and why I made a note, but when I found the note, I felt something stuck.
"Order" is a word that means "the correct order of things" and "the state in which the elements of society are connected to each other by certain relationships and rules and maintain harmony."
In general, human society will require order.
I may have felt that the painting had to be a "garden" where "disorder" was allowed.
This picture depicts an artificial object floating in outer space.
This work is reminiscent of the space probes Voyager 1 and 2, which were launched in the 1970s and still fly lonely in outer space and continue to send signals toward the distant Earth.

“Fun Sea ♡”
This is the only work I have completed so far since I became pregnant with my first child in 2016.
As of June 2020, I make baby food for 0-year-olds, infant food for 2-year-olds, rice for men in their 20s, and my own sake.
It may sound like a bittersweet, excuse or bragging about happiness.
It's a picture I drew because I wanted to draw something. It is a work I made.
If anything, it's the heart of all my hope that has changed 180 degrees from my life.
Masumi Sakamoto
Masahiro Masuda's work captures a casual landscape of interest and projects the image in the same place with a projector. By repeating the process of shooting from the same point of view multiple times, and then printing it on canvas with silk screen, a large number of images and paints overlap, and an image with a blur is projected.
Based on his experience in science fiction and horror movies that he watched in his childhood, Masuda has created works that visualize time by fixing reality and fiction on the screen. I recall that the time we live is connected and shaped like a movie film in which every moment is continuous. The overlap and misalignment of images using this camera and projector does not exist in one absolute viewpoint, but there are multiple objects, and one image also has various appearances in many eyes. It suggests that there are multiple.

"Kanjujima"
I created it with the image of an aerial city with a unique lifestyle, isolated from the world. At first glance, this artificial island, which seems to be left behind on the sea, seems to coexist in harmony with civilization and nature, but in reality, humans and nature are not involved at all. Each of them was separated from the earth, and they just stood on the sea without any relation to each other, and drew a landscape where they spend their days quietly.
