アイデンティティの糸:文化と自己表現の物語
This group exhibition unites the evocative works of Ariko Inaoka and Mai Ide, two artists whose practices unravel and reframe the multi-faceted narratives of identity, heritage, and societal expectations.
mai ide's multidisciplinary approach reflects her experiences as aJapanese-American immigrant, mother, and artist. Utilizing salvaged fabrics and sashiko stitching, her work expresses the tension between vulnerability and resilience within a constrained and volatile society. Ariko Inaoka’s photography, including her renowned series on Icelandic twins, delves into themes of connection, individuality, and the interplay of cultural and personal identity.
Together, their art forms a compelling dialogue on cultural and personal intersections, creating a space for introspection, connection, and empowerment.This exhibition invites viewers to engage with layered narratives that traverse past and present, tradition and reinvention.
