Work Details

Window Series

Drawing on a fogged window with a finger — a small, instinctive impulse that almost everyone has experienced.
In this series, that unconscious act is depicted as a metaphor for expression in contemporary society.

What once emerged during idle moments — while commuting or bathing — has now been absorbed by smartphones, replaced by the motion of scrolling through a timeline.
What enters our view are streams of information, misinformation, emotions, and other people’s voices.
In an age where we scroll instead of drawing, and swipe instead of touching, doodles on fogged glass quietly bring anonymous emotions to the surface.

Condensation is created by the difference in temperature between inside and outside.
The lines that appear on the glass are traces of noise and conflict born between an individual’s inner world and the outer realm of society.
The lines drawn there are voices that reach nowhere,
and words left behind as someone who is no one in particular.

SHUN NAKAO

Visual Artist

visual artist and painter whose work explores the tension between personal memory and cultural imagery. Influenced by 1980s–90s fashion, music, manga, and anime, his practice captures subtle emotional dissonance and urban atmosphere. He uses layered techniques with spray paint, acrylic, and dripping to reflect unfiltered feelings, atmospheric shifts, and everyday noise. In his "True to Life" series, he blurs the boundaries between reality and imagination, revealing the quiet strength of imperfection and the unresolved emotions of modern life.
