Haruki Murakami, widely recognized worldwide as a key figure in Japanese literature seems to have strongly considered American readers in his early novels. When assertions and purposes align with globally shared understanding, it becomes necessary to break through the current situation from a global perspective and go beyond Japan, not only in literature but also in creating something new, realizing that merely walking and thinking in the Japanese way within the confines of the island nation may not be enough.
The struggle to adopt a global perspective and grapple with cultural clashes is a part of the history of Japanese art. There were periods when the friction arising consciously from clashes between different cultures served as the energy for creativity. While such clashes can happen in any country, Japan, being relatively isolated compared to the West, underwent noticeable changes. These changes, viewed from a global perspective, led to leaving a greater legacy for future generations, instigating growth through transformation. This historical process, influenced and inspired by an appreciation for change, can be seen as a history driven by the desire for positive transformation.
By the way, it seems that the written form of American Indian communication was in the form of pictographs, and the means of expression can change in countries where verbal communication is not possible. The connection between visual imagery and identity creates an excellent opportunity to introduce new metamorphoses. There is a transcendent power in this process that goes beyond the individual. While new metamorphoses carry strong ideological meanings, the collaboration of freshness and messages leaves a powerful impression. The next generation seems to be continuing the process of change with a certain conviction. This exhibition focuses on the metamorphoses bubbling up from the depths of the heart through the works of three artists active in the American context.
