"Same Boat was inspired by a tree I once saw deep in the forests of Hakone — a tree that seemed to show a man and woman in a tender embrace. That image captivated me, and from it I imagined this work. The two figures draw their nourishment from the same roots, living as one. Whether they blossom or wither, they do so together — two souls aboard the same boat."
Born in 1991 in Tokyo. Graduated from Kuwasawa Design School, Department of Visual Design. Growing up with a father who was a doll artist, she has been immersed in making since childhood. Working primarily in acrylic, Nakamura centers her imagery on expressionless women entangled with life-like flora and fauna. A quiet portrait from afar reveals, on closer inspection, ravens and flowers dissolving into the figure — a world of subtle uncanniness. After collaborations with publications and apparel brands, she now focuses on painting and solo exhibitions. Featured on BS Fuji "Break Zenya ~ Next Generation Artists ~" #372 (2023).
