[JAPAN & LITHUANIA - FORM IN THE SPACE BETWEEN LAYERS]
artists: Maruyama Yoshiko, Diana Radaviciute
Inspired by the natural water source of Zempukuji Pond in the vicinity of the gallery, for this exhibition I have turned my focus on the formational origins and dynamic natural phenomena of the Musashino Upland on which I am also resident. The work expresses human existence as just one of the layers in this evolution.
