ENOGU BUTO

Enogu Butu（Painting Dance）
My original performance. Pouring colors over my body with all my energy and concentration, absorbing them into my body as if they are air and dancing in harmony with the atmosphere there. This performance causes the spectators to laugh and shed tears.
This produces different works of performance than those of fine arts. My life changed greatly when I first met an activity of live painting. At that time I felt the wonder of painting: I can paint. I am under the condition where I can paint, and now I am living. Feeling happy with it, I meant to be true to myself.
One day I found a being "painting" in myself. I asked him. "May I paint?" and he answered, “Of course you may”. Since then he let me continue to paint gratefully to him.
