about

Azumi Sakata

"Suffering"

It is an inseparable part of life. 

Death, old age, sickness, prejudice, and love are also "suffering ". 

I continue to search for what is beyond "suffering". 

I also want to bring the technique of embroidery into contemporary art.

I think that in the past, many women had few creative outlets other than embroidery or cooking. I think that the repetitive stitching motion of embroidery was therapeutic, and the choice of colours and techniques allowed them to express themselves. Like these women, I want to use embroidery to strengthen my own heart. 

I hope you can see what lies beyond "suffering" through my art.
