Em I’m Here, But Nothing (2000), a typical domestic setting illuminated by black light is taken over by countless bright, colorful points that shimmer in the viewer's eye. This can be perceived as part of the artist's concept of self-obliteration.  Aftermath of Obliteration of Eternity (2009) part of the desire to deny one's own existence and unite with the infinite. The aspect of the work refers to a continuous mirage illuminated by lanterns that fades as perception moves away from reality. In Japanese tradition, this type of illumination is linked to spirituality, a connection with ancestors.
