'Since my style is quite variable, people seem to be confused. When somebody asks me a frequently asked question, "What is coherent in your works if there is any?" After pondering for a moment over what coherency is, I end up with interrogations. Is it really necessary? Is identity as an artist so important? Certainly, I don't have any distinctive style but I have been serious, really serious about my work and exhibitions each time. In my belief, the more serious I am, the more suitable shall my work be to the venue because the space, context and people are different at each exhibition. And also, I am different day by day. Why do people focus on individual "artist" in the first place? A work of art is a work of art, so every time I hope people enjoy it. No matter whose work it is, something meaningful happens there and people see it. It is as simple as that.' - Takamine Tadasu, Too Far To See
