Petite Gift
2024, 18" x 22" x 2 1/2"
Used t-shirts, red threads, wires, woodblock, beads, marking pins, shadow box
My previous installation "Gift" expressed the mysteries of meeting people at a certain time and a certain place, which do not look like coincidences to me. Based on the same idea, I made this smaller and an assemblage version of “Gift”. I assembled in a shadow box, which represents a treasure box to me. The Inclusion of beads represents my wish to treasure the moment of meeting people that I consider as gifts. Marking pins, in Japanese called “waiting pins,” are used to hold the beads in place, but also represent different tenses.
