Philosophy of Miniature Dollhouse RUNA: Preserving Memories Through Miniature Art
I strive to contribute to individuals and society through the art of miniature creation.
Many people find comfort in preserving beloved places as miniatures, helping to ease the sadness of saying goodbye to spaces filled with precious memories.
Even if a building has already been demolished, I can recreate it in 1/12 scale using only a few photographs, along with the stories and memories shared with me.
Through my work, I hope to inspire people to reflect on the “Scrap and Build” culture of modern society and reconsider the value of preserving memories.
I am also committed to fostering a new generation of miniature artists who preserve memories through their creations.
Through miniature art, I hope not only to preserve memories, but also to keep alive the emotions and stories that make us human.
