Alexandra, I think this art speaks more about delicacy and even perhaps frailty. The material plays a major part, as does the fact that this piece is not only presented in free open space, but also must have been created in that same state. You should look up some of Takahiro Iwasaki’s previous works, especially the thread structures to further appreciate this piece.
it looks exactly same as work of Doho suh? just different material. such a shame
Absolutely stunning. Unfortunately it is displayed on a too high level. The eye of the viewer should be higher than the imaginable reflecting pond.
