Residence Plan
During this residency, I will aim to create a collection called "MURUMENDIKO DAMA, MARI-SAMA". I will create a comparative collection of drawings exploring both Basque and Japanese myths, bringing both cultures together and opening a conversation. The main technique will be watercolour; however the use of other materials will also be welcomed in further explorations. My main goal is to expand knowledge of the Basque myths and culture in Tokyo.
