Dharma 法 1 / 3Dharma 法 2 / 3Dharma 法 3 / 3

Dharma / 法, 2026

The work attempts to strip away the meanings invested in the figure and the visual information that sustains its familiar appearance, returning to the structure and presence of the object that remains. It asks how we relate, now, to a present we cannot fully grasp and to what we will eventually lose.

Hekikan 壁観

Hekikan / 壁観, 2026

Its history is partly concealed rather than physically removed. Paired with Dharma, the work asks how we encounter a thing whose physical structure persists as familiar visual information is withheld.

Mare 海

Mare / 海, 2024

Later knowledge and interpretations can enter what we recall. Through a wooden form that suggests a rabbit, the work questions the relationship between visible forms and the memories and knowledge we bring to them.
