My name is Tomohisa Nagae, a sculptor. I use my skills to concretely represent the human body to create sculptures that depict the ephemeral scattering of life. I graduated from the University of Tsukuba in 2004 with a master's degree in art. I received the Hakujitsu Prize at Exhibition of Hakujitsu fine art association in 2013, the Niccho Prize at Exhibition of Japan Sculptors Association in 2013, and the Special Prize at the Japan Fine Art Exhibition in 2017.
