Haruo

About

Haruo is an independent observer based in Japan.

Working across drawing, observation, and perception — recording forms that exist before they are named.

Observation

animals is not presented as finished artwork or a message.

What you see here are traces of observation — recorded as they appear, without interpretation.

Haruo is only one observation point.
Every observation is shaped by time, culture, body, and experience.

This project does not aim to explain, define, or conclude.
It continues by observing and recording.
