Curator: Shohei Katayama


In this kinetic installation, a lilac branch is drawn repeatedly across an abrasive surface. Each pass wears it down, releasing dust, fragments, and the faint sweetness of its oils. What emerges is a fleeting beauty, one where presence is shaped through the very act of destruction.
