Work Details

作品のコンセプト・制作意図

本来、円相とは禅における書画のひとつで、円形を一筆で描き、欠けることのない無限を表すとされています。悟りや真理、仏性、宇宙全体などを象徴的に表現し、捕らわれのない心や執着から解放された心を意味しますが、解釈は見る人に任されていると言われています。

自身の第三形態として、今の手法で《円相》を表現しました。解釈としては、執着の中に固定観念が深く関わっていると感じ、マチエールにフォーカスを当て、《影》から見る《白》という、相反する二面の共存、そしてフリーハンドで描くことで人間の不完全さや曖昧な部分を表しました。これらを《描く》事で昇華させています。

Tomo Sakurai

contemporary artist

My practice explores dynamic equilibrium by viewing all phenomena as a continuum rather than fixed opposites. At its core is the Three Visual Principles: Black & White, Color, and Ma, representing opposition, transition, and the space where differences coexist.

Using paint, ink, resin, metal, earth, wax, glass, and mineral pigments, I work with melting, oxidation, heat, and deposition. I observe how materials transform and interact over time, allowing their behavior to shape the work.

These processes give rise to Awai, a space where differences remain distinct while existing together. Within Awai, equilibrium appears as a temporary state in which no element fully dominates another. It is not static balance, but a dynamic condition sustained through change, tension, and fluctuation.

My works preserve these transient relationships as material fragments of Awai and dynamic equilibrium.
