“I am not very serious about being famous or successful, but I want to create something which would be loved by minorities. The word ‘minority’ is not limited to gender, sexuality, or race. It includes people who are lonely in the world and who feel like they do not belong to any community.

I assume that there are people who are neither the majority nor minority. They cannot find the community they want to belong to or place they can feel comfortable. I, myself, sometimes feel loneliness even if I am with my close friends.”

Making art is one way to meet people who have similar emotions like you and share feelings together.
