We only look at what we want to see and unknowingly forget what is not convenient. In this work, I depicted selective memories and fragments of consciousness.

Humans, dogs, swans, and moths each have different layers of reality, yet they intersect in a single screen while being chaotic. As the title “Things Half Seen, Half Forgotten” suggests, half can be seen and half forgotten. It depicts reality that is convenient for people to see and fragments of memories that remain vague.

A serial project to ask current artists about their works and the other side of production.

We asked Aire Akiyama about the concept of the work and her future goals.
