Eye Know
The eye speaks without words—
a vast cell that absorbs fragments of the world,
quietly recording what it sees.
We often choose to look away.
But deep down, we already know—
what the eye has seen cannot be unseen.

Yuriyo
Losing her mother in her teenage years, she found herself unable to express her grief and anger through words or emotions. Instead, she began to pour these feelings onto the canvas, using art as her outlet.
Her thoughts turned to the fragility of human life, the cycle of death, and the endless repetition of war. In 2019, she visited the Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland, an experience that deeply resonated with her. Confronted by the injustices of life and death, the ceaseless wars, and her own sense of helplessness and sorrow, she began channeling these emotions into her art.
Entirely self-taught, she creates with a combination of intuition and unconscious drive, exploring the depths of her psyche and giving voice to her emotions and messages through her work. Her artistic journey transcends borders, with exhibitions both in Japan and abroad. Drawing from her background as a former street dancer, she incorporates body painting and dance into her performances, merging movement and art into a powerful expression of her unique vision.
