So I’ll Be On My Way

The figure hugs their leg, bound in a futomomo tie, squeezing it tightly as if caught in a moment of deep contemplation. Beside them, a pair of rope shears lies on the ground, hinting at the possibility of severing ties—whether from a relationship, toxicity, or a source of inner turmoil.

Amber Is the Color of Your Energy

Inspired by 311’s Amber, this piece intertwines warmth and mystery. A hand holds a cigar, with the smoke rising to reveal the ghostly image of a figure bound in shibari ropes.

I Would Dare to Speak Its Name if I Knew What It Was Called

Inspired by the evocative tones of Bell X1’s Flame, this piece captures a figure in a shibari partial suspension from a tree, set against an autumnal landscape. The warm colors of brown, pink, orange, red, and gold envelop the scene, while dandelions in the foreground hint at fragility and fleeting moments.

I Know I Don’t Know You, But I Want You So Bad

This piece offers an intimate look at a basic double column tie, focusing on the intricate details of the knot itself. The absence of a figure draws attention to the rope, reflecting the artist’s own experience of exploring this art form with a mix of shyness and vulnerability.
