Collected Wind Passage

Concept of the Work

This artwork was created with the idea of gathering invisible “memories of the wind.” Although wind is always present in our daily lives, it cannot be seen. As I walked through the streets of Ōtemachi, I captured its traces and the flow of the air in my mind and translated them into the painting. The black and purple crows symbolize my inner self, and their hidden positions behind the plants express my inner thoughts and emotions. I paid particular attention to the choice and handling of materials such as mineral pigments and burnt silk. Especially, the texture of silk treated with fire plays an important role in conveying the movement of the wind and the passage of time. With the theme of “self-love,” I carefully gathered my memories and feelings and expressed them through this work. By sharing it with viewers, I hope to deliver an experience that resonates with the quiet emotions hidden in everyday life and touches each person’s inner world.
