color of snow
For me, having been born and raised in Kyoto, where snowfall is rare, "snow" is something special, a mysterious presence that transforms the familiar everyday scenery into a pure white world. Its fleeting appearance, which disappears as soon as it piles up, makes it seem even more out of reach, and in the back of my mind, the desire to turn it into an artwork has remained. The work in question was created while looking up at the falling snow on Gojo-dori in Shimogyo Ward, Kyoto. I believe that the image of the falling white snow descending in layers, and the beautiful color of snow that I have in my mind, was born here. By making it into a folding screen and folding it to create an angle, the snow takes on a more three-dimensional appearance and spreads across the exhibition space.
