My artwork is expressed through a teru teru bozu (a little rain doll). On digital art When I see her, I think of myself just staring at past regrets, too afraid to step out and do anything.

So I chose to take her on a journey. To do the things I’ve never done. To live in ways I won’t regret later. Each painting shows her adventures through different places shaped by emotions from my past both the good and the painful. But every moment, every memory, still matters.

As for the name YAMADA, it didn’t mean anything at first. Back then, it was just a temporary name I used to keep a distance, to protect myself. But now, YAMADA has become the name that represents me finally learning to accept who I am
