Mayumi Oshima was born and raised in Buddhism environment in Japan. She moved recently to New Jersey and encountered the huge disaster “Hurricane Sandy.” It was the first biggest disaster in her life. She saw people struggled to survive and tried to maintain their living conditions under the huge disaster. In addition to many Buddhism concepts, she concerns inconceivable human vitality through “Sandy.” Whenever people face to difficulties, whatever people could do their best to survive. These experiences influence to herself and her working concept as an artist. Now she could accept any kind of human behaviors, even if it includes conceive, self-protection, ego, jealousy, and etc in addition to the Buddhism concepts --- mercy, unity, and harmony. She believes all of these human characters are strongly necessary for the “Alternation of generations.“ She feels a compelling sense of love from generation to generation. In the “Shore 2,” she shows the waves are dynamically changed in to many forms (generation) as if water crushed into pieces and then unified (generation to generation). This is the virtual energy of human generations. Human may transform to birds (Uroborossm) after a couple of generations like as a symbols of her dream. She flies to wherever and whenever she wants. The leaves on her head are cool and natural flames from her wisdom. However, she trapped by the snake twined around the body of feathers. She tries to knock herself out of troubles with her claws.
