Description
Chiharu Shiota's meticulous craftsmanship and profound artistic vision come to life in each piece, whether it's the ethereal delicacy of smaller sculptures (ππ΅π’π΅π¦ π°π§ ππ¦πͺπ―π¨) or the immersive grandeur of larger installations. Artist Shiota regards the sculptures (ππ΅π’π΅π¦ π°π§ ππ¦πͺπ―π¨) as an extension of the installation art. In other words, each sculpture embodies her profound emotional investment; she pours her entire being into the work, reaching a point where she has nothing more to give. In detail, the use of red, white, and black threads, a signature element in Shiota's palette, adds a symbolic layer, representing the dualities inherent in lifeβbirth and death, love and loss, creation and dissolution.
