Naoko Sekine
Sekine sees her work as a three-dimensional object whose sides you cannot see from any one perspective, but one that requires you to move around to view. Even though her work is on a two-dimensional canvas, each piece looks different as you change your perspective or depending on your feeling. What she draws is the memory of her experience. Although it is not a specific experience, but an integrated moment of when her heart moved in her life. Her works evokes our memory and emotion to see our life from a different perspective.
