Hgarden

H.Garden (Ten’en) is a work that records those who stand at the center of a family.

The character “en” (園) carries meanings such as “a place where people gather in joy” and “a garden of pleasure.”

Built only from materials found at Japanese home-improvement stores, joined by adhesive alone, each title rendered as an anagram and logged onto Google Maps. Yet in domestic open-call exhibitions, craftsmanship tends to be prized, while assemblage is often deemed low in artistic value and rarely considered for evaluation at all. It felt like a symptom of an age steeped in lookism.

All of it is an attempt to turn the transience of an event into memory.
