A Priestess YTUAE was the most unusual work I ever experienced making... Never before I have experienced making work like this. It felt like I was serving this higher being and she demanded me to do exactly as she wanted when creating this work. She was strict and urgent in her wishes. Such channeling of a being through artwork form was really new for me. 

All I know that she is a Japanese High Priestess who doesn’t want to let  go of the eternal flame located somewhere in the mountains of Japan out of her sight.

Her name is YTUAE.
