visible/invisible (2019)

"visible/invisible" is an installation that destabilizes the boundaries of perception through "material poetry"—a rhythmic assembly of everyday ephemera, text, and sonics. Rather than enforcing fixed meanings, these disparate fragments act as a poetic catalyst, expanding the viewer's consciousness and guiding them into a different dimension of inner reflection. At its core, a drawn eye on the wall gazes back at the audience, transforming the act of seeing into an introspective, meta-visual experience. Suspended monumental braids and objects formed from chewing gum introduce a subtle, tactile bodily presence, while a subtle reinterpretation of Saint-Exupéry’s line—“What is important is invisible to the eyes”—resonates in the background. Inspired by the invisible reality of the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster, the work gently bridges personal memory and social awareness, transforming the gallery into a meditative sanctuary where the seen and unseen harmoniously converge.
