Tokyo University of the Arts The 72nd Graduation Works Exhibitions
This work begins by casting the artist’s own body, then reconstructing its form by layering sheets of glass along the mold and shaping them by hand during firing to create a mirrored surface.
The body is treated both as material and metaphor—through transforming its delicate and imperfect form, the work explores self-reflection and the potential for rebirth.
The mirrored surface captures surrounding landscapes and the gaze of others, revealing that even as form changes, one’s existence is continuously shaped through relationships with the environment and those around us.
自身の身体を型取り、それを再構築した形にガラス板を沿わせ、手の力を加えながら焼成し、鏡面に仕上げている。
身体を素材であり比喩として捉え、繊細で不完全な身体を変化させることで、自己を見つめ直し、新たに生まれ変わる可能性を探っている。
鏡面は周囲の景色や他者の視線を映し出し、たとえ形が変わっても、自己の存在が環境や人との関わりの中で絶えず形づくられていることを示している。
