Yin and Yang

2010 / Larch, Bubinga, Acrylic, Oil

W800mm x D450mm x H1900mm

This work was exhibited at the [Wood Design] Invited Artist Exhibition held at the Wakita Museum of Art in Karuizawa in 2010 and at the Tokyo University of the Arts Exhibition Hall in 2011.

Since ancient times, there have always been two elements that contradict all things, spaces, and events, such as "yin and yang," "inside and outside," and "light and dark," and complement each other. I usually work on my work while exploring whether it is possible to create something like the boundary that connects these two worlds. Both the lost and remaining parts are equally important and complement each other to form a shape.
