Sakurako Nagano continues creating using animation as a base. She temporarily lost her touch on how to make artworks and took a temporary absence from IAMAS. After two years of questioning herself she returned to IAMAS to complete an artwork centered on the theme of solitude. She graduated and once again continues to make powerful strides as an artist. Together with Professor Shigeru Matsui who recalls being impressed by her ever since the IAMAS entrance exams, we trace her journey as she continues to expand the possibilities of artistic expression.
