Life is full of surprises.
But that’s why I love life and enjoy it every day.
The people around me too, (face all kinds of surprises) but they seem to be enjoying life.
I think that’s because they know how to connect with “their own freedom.”
I too, have several ways of achieving this, and one of them is to take a stroll by the sea every day by myself.

The sea you face on your own is very tranquil.
It offers me wonderful views that bring together forever changing colors, light, sounds, temperatures and aromas. I respond with all five senses.
The senses then blend with my emotions, and I attain freedom when the boundary between them disappears.
I am filled with joy upon sensing the existence of a beautiful space within me.
I capture and portray this moment every day.

My pictures are free.
I hope everyone looking at them will fully enjoy the beauty of their own bodies and senses.

[Seascape] Key Visual
Chiaki Kadota
Chiaki Kadota
She began her creative activities in 2021.
She focuses on the changes in people’s hearts, the transience of nature, impressions of artificial objects and how they all relate to one another.
She captures the light and colors emitted by their internal states, as well as the radiance and decay of life, and portrays the invisible words and emotions through her own colors.
She uses extensive media, including paper and canvas, as well as records, clothes, skateboards and other human-made products (things that have fulfilled their roles as products or objects other than for painting).
