The activities of MAI MIYAKE are not easy to understand by simple interpretation or judgement, because she has been involved in activities of unlimited mediums such as installations, crafts, Japanese paintings, product designs and writings, with a central focus on contemporary arts, in her 15 year-long activities. However MIYAKE consciously or unconsciously keeps herself free from a formalistic art or an expedient perspective, which categorizes and judges people.

In “Everybody's Girl is Nobody's Girl", there are installations and space compositions which were not included in the previous three collective works, adding to artworks released after her 3rd book “Down the Rabbit Hole", released in 2012. The artworks are classified in five categories like inward organs that compose Miyake herself. And you will see this art book is just like one of her artworks.
