Profile

◆statement

Okojima strives to take in the views of many creatures—birds, forest, germs, minerals or monkeys awakening— into her own inner world and draw the tale of the world from these views. And for her, art is like a device that can show spectators various views or more angles of way of thinking. She engages in artistic expression through painting, mural and video.
