Manami Igarashi, Mana Nagata, Hironari Natsuyama
HAGIWARA PROJECTS is pleased to present dream/water, a group exhibition featuring three emerging artists opening January 10th, 2026.
The exhibition explores how sensations, emotions, and memories—often impossible to fully articulate through words or grasp through visible form alone—can emerge through artistic practice. Working across different media and methodologies, the three artists each approach these elusive experiences from distinct perspectives.
Manami Igarashi centers her practice on processes of re-production, primarily through silkscreen printing. Using not only paper but also furniture, ceramics, and glass as supports, she investigates the nature and circulation of images. By translating the ambiguities that arise within systems and rules—where reality and fiction intersect—into fixed forms, her work reveals moments of instability that open up new perspectives and interpretations.
Mana Nagata reconstructs landscapes that waver within memory. Beginning with sketches and notes recorded in her daily life, she builds a distinctive visual world through combinations of drawing and collage. By visualizing the process through which the contours of memory gradually take shape, her works resonate quietly with the viewer’s own recollections, allowing ambiguous and shifting scenes to surface.
Hironari Natsuyama engages with sensations that arise precisely through the absence of language, carefully examining the power of pictorial space and emptiness in painting. Drawing from his belief that attempts at explanation can distance one from the subject, he seeks to distill the universal qualities embedded within painting itself. His works possess a quiet intensity, inviting viewers’ memories and interpretations to linger within a contemplative, suspended space.
