26.04 Elephant Nest / Solo Exhibition

๐ŸŽˆ๐Ÿ˜

โ€‹My first solo exhibition, Elephant Nest, which was held throughout April, has come to an end. The exhibition was extended for about a week longer than planned, and I just finished taking everything down today. When I first began making work, I often wondered where I would ever be able to hold a solo exhibition, so Iโ€™m deeply grateful to Cafe295 for generously offering such a warm and welcoming space. Stopping by on weekends for lattes and their new ube latte made the experience even more enjoyable.

Thank you as well to everyone who took the time to visit and spend time with the paintings. This exhibition was a story about the birth of a small being with a balloon tail. It began with the imagination of an elephant, burdened by the weight of life, wanting to become a light balloon โ€” and that story has only just begun.

Please continue to follow the journey of the balloon-tailed being, and see when the elephant might finally become a balloon. I will continue to repay your support through steady, long-lasting, and sincere work. Thank you.
