SURPRISE ENCOUNTER TO MYSELF FROM 7 YEARS AGO…

By total accident, I found an interview article of myself from 7 years ago online!! It was written by Kyodo Press of Japan when I just moved to NY to start art school at SVA. I had completely forgotten this has even existed, and it was a nice surprise Christmas present for myself. You can read the interview here. (Sorry, Japanese only.)

I had come a long way since then. And I hope to feel the same 7 years from now. Merry Christmas, everyone.
