SAORI KANDA

Born in Yamaguchi Prefecture / Raised in Iraq and Dubai
Along with a strong admiration for Japan, he comes into contact with the aesthetic sense that is rooted in various lifestyles around the world.
An artist whose theme is "liberation of the soul's joy" and whose work expresses his way of life itself.
In 2020, she started a series of works with the themes of "Goddess Liberation" and "Eros Liberation". She began her activities as a Self-Love activist.
She engages in expressive activities using a wide range of media, including photography, dance, painting, music, video, and poetry, by confronting "sex" as the source of life in the context of life and death and incorporating the importance of loving oneself again into her work.

As a "dancing artist" who combines music, dance and painting, she paints on large canvases with acrylic paints on the themes of "liberation of the goddess" and "liberation of Eros". This was decided after the artist recognized the existence of various personalities inside her when she looked at herself as an artist and as a woman. After struggling with her uncontrollable self-image, which included an aggressive and masculine side and a soft and erotic side, she decided to live true to her soul. She believes that by being prepared to truly love the "life" that is given to you and no one else, you will develop deep confidence and bring healing energy to those around you. The screen combines concrete figures such as women and dragons with abstract paintings in pastel colors to emit the brilliance of life energy that is found when the masculine and feminine aspects that we all carry within are balanced.
