Miss Forest

Another large-scale sculpture by NARA Yoshitomo is displayed in the Aomori Museum of Art compound — the 6-meter high bronze statue, Miss Forest. The work is established inside the Hakkakudo, an octagonal brick building designed by Nara. Seated in the solemn building as if always having been there, Miss Forest invites visitors into intimate communion, speaking to them in happy harmony with the breezes, bird song and, sometimes, falling snow.
