Takashi Ito (wood carving)
Concept
Ever since I was a child, I've had trouble expressing my feelings in words.
I feel like unless I said it out loud, other people would just think of me as someone who doesn't think about anything.
Still, I feel like making things has allowed me to connect with others and with society.
I create with the idea in mind that everyone has words in their hearts, even if they don't speak them out loud.
