This series started in 2016 with the motif of mountains seen from an airplane. When I first started, I referred to Ed Rusche and others to explore the relationship between the linguistic diversity on airplanes and the transnational nature of the images they carry.

Currently, I prioritize images of original experiences and have shifted to exploring the relationship between time and space, capturing the changing mountain ridgelines from the perspective of a person on the move.

The artist spent his childhood in France and Japan, learning Western art and oil painting techniques. Eventually, he felt a sense of incongruity between his primitive experiences in the West and his Asian roots, and to this day he has been creating works with the theme of ``crossing borders'' in order to explore in an artistic context the ``twisting of his identity'' that lies between the West and Asia.
