She has created motion picture works focusing on differences in culture and customs. Recently, she has become interested in "crawling"--a move common for all human beings at youth--and started a unique method of expression where she herself crawls on streets in various places in the world and finds networks in the local community. This time, she has crawled in Beppu and created a new story in this city with her own body.
