This exhibition presents the progress of a research project exploring creativity through the relationship between form and language. Featuring videos documenting children’s clay play and adults’ creative activities since 2024, related research materials and video works developed from these recordings, the exhibition examines how forms and words emerge and influence each other beyond established frameworks. It also presents archival materials from Yokohama Civic Art Gallery, documenting exhibitions of contemporary art and workshops for children and local communities.

A form may begin as a simple object, but when we find meaning in it, it becomes something more. Forms give rise to words, and words inspire new forms. The exhibition explores this ongoing, wave-like exchange between language and form.
