yami

where darkness holds colour,
and every mark means something.

Opening · 闇

Context · 文脈

A sketchbook
left open.

— in the dark, everything has colour

This is a place for work made slowly. For ideas that need time to dry. For the kind of making that doesn't announce itself — it just accumulates, like pigment on wet paper, until the shape becomes clear.

yami.quest is where those shapes live.

Process · 過程

The work is
the practice.

Every piece starts in the dark — an idea that hasn't found its form yet. The process is non-linear: sketch, abandon, return, rework. The mark is the message.

Working across illustration, print, and digital form, with a preference for methods that leave evidence of their making.

Collection · 収集

Things made,
kept, returned to.

A loosely organised archive — sorted not by date or medium but by feeling. Pieces that felt finished. Pieces that didn't, but were let go anyway. Prints that sold and prints that live rolled in a drawer.

The collection grows slowly, irregularly, the way a herbarium does.

To make something in the dark
is to trust the hand.
