I was fascinated by the “moment you lose sight of time” hidden in the light at dusk, and created with the theme of “texture of light.” Under the evening sky, which has different colors every day, the ever-changing light blurs the interior while leaving the outline of things, and questions how to capture existence.
It focuses on the multi-layer structure of recognition from a brain science/philosophical point of view, and captures “contours” as “symbols of linguistic boundaries.” Highly transparent layers mixed with mica and polarizing pigments are layered over and over to construct a screen that changes according to viewing time and point of view due to resonance with the light in the exhibition space. This transformation of light creates a contrast between the ambiguous appearance inside the motif and the clear outline, and presents various ways of seeing hidden in one world.
