About the artwork

The Appreciation Experience Born from ‘Preserving’ Former Dwellings
This piece serves as a sequel to previous works presented in Japan, featuring artworks that contemplate collapsed houses from the Niigata Chuetsu Earthquake and arranged relics from vacant homes in a systematic manner in the garden. Against the backdrop of the local environment, the artist endeavours to create works that inspire new interpretations. In this latest creation, the artist works with the house where a carpenter once lived, processing it with wire mesh. “The contrast between the glossy wire mesh of the interior and exterior brings a metropolitan sensibility to the Yuyama House, imparting a strong presence along with the inherent beauty of the house itself,” comments the artist.
