"Transfer the feelings within the work, transfroming it into a living entity that thrives endlessly." – Moe Nakamura Moe Nakamura excels at capturing the transient changes of her inner state, materializing the projectionof her emotions. The atmosphere of her works is sometimes positive and joyful, and other times dark and gloomy. The various little monsters all have the appearance of children. The artist explains that infancy is the period when humans exhibit the most pronounced contrasts in their states. The fluctuations of inner emotions, much like good and evil, do not remain constant. As perspectives change, viewers will interpret the work (or event) and arrive at different answers. The piece 'Sleeping Mountain' is a wood carving created by Moe Nakamura in 2021. As time progresses and her life experiences deepen, the artist has shifted from her early surreal little monsters and fairy-like froms to more recent works that draw closer to natural elements, exhibiting a softer temperament. The title of this work aligns with its from; the gradient of green and blue hues evokes the image of a mountain shifting between light and clouds. The

serene sleeping face of a child brings a sense of peace to the overall atmosphere, gently soothing the viewer's soul.
