Born in 1997. He continued to feel uncomfortable living in human society, and at some point he began to feel as if he had come from outer space and was studying on Earth. Through the world of psychology, oriental thought, physiology, etc., which I have been strongly attracted to, I have created a device = recaller to awaken the "inner nature" of myself and others by converting the thought I deepened about living with this mind and body in this ambiguous world into songs, pictures, three-dimensional forms, words, events, etc.
