“おふくろに乾杯”、これはプロジェクトと呼ぶには大げさだが、お酒を 飲み交わし、グラスを鳴らすときの表現である。過去18年ほどに渡り、父に対して抱いてきた問題の陰に隠れて気づかな かった母のための乾杯。 常に父のことは意識していたが、母については何も考えていなかった。父 との間に問題を抱え過ぎ、母との関係については何ら問題ないと誤解して いた。だから、母とは一度も一緒に来たことがないここ日本で、母を探る 制作を考えた。母を見つけられるかどうか分からないが、挑戦してみたい。 おふくろに乾杯 ( OFUKURONIKANPAI ) is not a project, but it’s just a sentence when we’re drinking & hitting the glass. I drink it for my mother who has been left behind the problems I think I have with my father over the last 18 years. I always think about my father, but never think about my mother. I think about the problem I have with my father too much and misperceive that I don’t have problems with my mother. So I turned the plan to seek for my mother here in Japan where I never come with her. I don’t know if I can find her or not, but I’ll try.
