In her creations, Mio Muraki hopes to express the most mundane aspects of human life such as the sound of trees and leaves on a breezy spring day, perpetual motion of the waves, creation of soft ripples from the drops of water, ever changing shapes of clouds, and changes of the four seasons. She hopes to create works that will inspire creativity and imagination.
