Yukika Kawahara / Setsuka KAWAHARA
Born in Osaka in 1997, lives in Kyoto
2021 Completed the concept design of the Graduate School of Fine Arts, Kyoto City University of Arts
While being influenced by the techniques and expressions in animation in Central and Eastern Europe and Russia, he is making films with the theme of "symbiosis" with animation using paper-cutting.
Because it is an era in which events around the world are instantly diffused, we emphasize the allegorical and poetic expressions of fairy tales and the imagination of stories.
In addition, he is in charge of producing and video of CuBerry, an art unit for video and music, and also produces live performances and music videos in various places.

Major: Concept and Media Planning
Influenced by the techniques and expressions of animation in Central and Eastern Europe and Russia, I have been making films on the theme of “symbiosis” through animation using paper cutouts. Because we live in an age where events from around the world are spread instantaneously, I place emphasis on the allegorical of fairy tales, poetic expressions and the imaginative power of stories. I am also in charge of the production and video of CuBerry, a video and music art unit, and gives live performances and makes music videos in various places. ..
