Hideaki Kawashima |
Ifve enjoyed making things since I was a child. I
deconstructed machines such as radios and cameras, observed structures and
was interested in geometry. My major was directing light, but I also taught myself geometric structures and made various modular origami models. I like combining simple mechanisms to create complicated puzzles. I feel a sense of beauty there. I hope that my products are a way for people to communicate together. 1985DBorn in Kanagawa Prefecture 2008.
