我平常以照片影像為起點，跨越拼貼、版畫（石版畫）和繪畫三種媒介來創作作品。這是因為我希望探索那些能夠撼動自己感覺的不確定起點，並且洞察照片在壓縮成二維拼貼時產生的違和感來源及其邊界。在以照片為基礎製作拼貼時，我會先將組裝好的彩紙部件拆解並重新配置。去除多餘元素後，將彩紙的色面用壓克力顏料或壓機進行壓縮和固定，我認為這是一種重新用色彩和形狀來捕捉空間（世界），也就是所謂的「抽象化」行為。

在《Double Take - Nidomi》中，我將展示受到地圖應用程式圖像啟發的繪畫和拼貼作品。Google 提供的「Google Earth」是一款能從宇宙俯瞰地球，並輕鬆探索未知地點的應用程式。當從宇宙降落至地面特定地點並切換到街景模式時，由於該地點的資訊量，有時應用程式會出現錯誤。特別是當從正上方以二維視角查看地圖時，降落至無法從上方完全識別的空間，如橋下、地下道路或隧道等地方時，會出現一瞬間的錯誤，對我來說，這些錯誤就像是這個世界與另一個世界的邊界。

這些錯誤並不是每次都會發生，為了再次遇到那一瞬間的現象，我會反覆進行降落操作。「二度見」指的是當我們感到意外或違和感時，再次確認的行為。那些奇異扭曲的世界錯誤，彷彿出現在這個世界和另一個世界的邊界上，我試圖以作品的形式「二度見」這一瞬間。

未來，隨著更詳細資訊的反映和顯示功能的提升，這些錯誤也許會得到解決。它們如同瞬間消失的泡沫，或像亡靈一般，作為刹那間的影像存在著。

I usually work with photographic images as a starting point, crossing three media: collage, printmaking (lithography), and painting. This is because I want to explore the uncertain starting point that shakes my senses and determine the source and boundary of the discomfort that arises as a collage of photographs compressed into two dimensions. When creating a collage based on a photograph, I disassemble and rearrange the once-assembled pieces of colored paper. Compressing and fixing the colored surfaces of the paper with acrylic paint and a press, after removing the excess elements, is an act of "abstracting," or re-capturing the space (the world) itself in color and form.

"Double Take - Nidomi" will feature paintings and collages inspired by images from the Google Earth map application, which allows viewers to look at the earth from space and easily explore unknown places. When descending from space to a specific point on the ground and switching to Street View, a bug may occur in the app depending on the amount of information at that point. In particular, the momentary that appear when descending under bridges, underground passageways, and tunnels, "bugs" which cannot be spatially recognized in the 2D map from above, feel like the boundary between this world and the next to me.

The same "bugs" does not occur every time, and I repeat the descent many times in order to encounter that fleeting phenomenon again. To "Double Take"is the behavior of turning to look again for confirmation when something unexpected or strange strikes one. The work attempts to "look twice" at the moment when the strangely distorted "bugs" of the world seem as if they appear on the boundary between this world and the next.

In the future, as more detailed information is reflected and display functions are improved, the "bugs"may be resolved. They exist as momentary images, like bubbles that disappear in an instant, or like ghosts.
