Artist
Ayato Fujiwara | 藤原 彩人
BIOGRAPHY
「人の形」を表現の支持体とし、相似的な視点から循環や流動をテーマに、人間と自然、物質と空間、光と影といった様々なつながりや関係性を、現代の事象と照らし合わせ、陶素材を用い「像／彫刻」にしている。
Using the “human form” as a support for expression and exploring themes of cycles and fluidity from a similar perspective, the artist creates “sculptures” using ceramic materials. These works juxtapose various connections and relationships, such as those between humans and nature, material and space, light and shadow, against contemporary events.
