Sugimoto Ui

In my art, I aim for the multiplicity of viewpoints by using black lines drawn on a blank white canvas to alter the surrounding space in various directions. I hope to engage viewers in a dreamlike world born from the intertwining of my inner universe and external stimuli, inviting them to let their gaze wander and play within this realm.
