I'll send you a Hikari.
Business Overview
The exhibition titled "Bringing Light, Between Rain and Shine, Between the Sea and Us" by the art unit OKURU is a place for Nana OKURA and Eriko TANABE to relive their bodies and memories.
In this exhibition, he presented an installation using embroidery, painting, blown glass, and textiles, based on the ecology of the seaweed eelgrass and the act of being sent down. Through picnic-style field work at the beach and dialogue between artists, he quietly picked up personal experiences such as miscarriages, loss, and bodily memories, and tried to express them as overlapping with the cycle of life. In the construction of the exhibition space, he collaborated with the installer and arranged materials and lights to create the entire space as a place for viewers to relive their own memories and emotions. The exhibition reconsidered the relationship between the natural environment and the physical nature, and presented a place to approach the inner feelings of individuals.

Profile
[Nana Okura]
Painter. He created paintings and installations on the themes of "the affinity between body organs and plants and animals" and "the cycle of life." In recent years, he has developed installations that use the entire space, using dead plants and found objects as materials. Through transparent resin and glass, the image of the transience and rebirth of life is serenely raised in the relationship with changing light. He is also a member of the art unit "OKURU". His major presentations include a solo exhibition (space comb-shaped, 2024).
