In today’s increasingly information-driven society, we find ourselves interacting more and more with AI through computers and smartphones to carry out various tasks. Yet human beings have, by nature, developed their senses, wisdom, and capacity to live through experiences gained in connection with others.
Even when verbal communication proves difficult for some, they find ways to express themselves through visual forms, conveying things that are hard to articulate in words and sharing their unique sensibilities. Precisely because they face certain limitations, their work often develops in unexpected ways; sustained periods of deep absorption become the foundation through which each artist crystallizes a singular mode of expression.
The expressions and works born in this way are often deeply connected to the routines of daily life. Family environments, school experiences, familiar plants and animals, materials close at hand, and relationships with others—all quietly breathe beneath the surface of these creations. Expressions that resist being fixed in form often come to be recognized only when received by others, reminding us that the process itself is also one of connection and exchange.
This exhibition is guided by three key concepts: “Forms of Learning,” “Signs and Awareness,” and “Sensing Beings”, and presents a range of unique visual forms that emerge from the foundations of learning, records of expressions that are difficult to contain in tangible form, and works created through a sensibility attuned to feeling and perception.
Engaging quietly with each work, contemplating its background and allowing one’s imagination to wander, can awaken dormant memories and sensations within the viewer, offering an opportunity to see the world anew from a different perspective. Through this exhibition, we hope to create a space for reflection on the value of sensitivity and the importance of our connections with others and the world around us, qualities that have become ever more essential in contemporary society.
