Artist Comment
While evoking the distant air of spring, the horses, adorned with victory, glide forward, brimming with the strength to face any challenge. Though the time may expand like the sun and the moon, its existence radiates an undying light. As long as this wall exists, enveloped in the floating sensation of the ‘〇’, I hope that those who see it will pass by, much like flowers blooming from buds only to disappear before we know it, and that it will gently permeate their hearts.
About the work
From this work created by HAMADARAKA, one can sense the fluctuations and new perspectives that arise from the overlapping of two elements, like the sun and the moon, or yin and yang. Depending on the viewer’s emotions, this third presence transforms, quietly stirring feelings with each encounter. It is a work that embodies a sense of floating, drawing one in even as they wander, unable to articulate their thoughts.
