Yuko Oda
Oda's inspiration stems from observations of natural life forms and processes. Organisms like flowers and birds have forms and functions familiar yet foreign to us. At a glance, they seem simple and go unnoticed, but little curiosity and observation reveals a universe of complex, intelligent systems. The wonder and reverence she feels in this study is what drives her work, and the results take various directions.
In drawings, Oda brings forth the energy and life force of a living form by abstracting and transforming its elements. A delicate flower may explode like a bomb, or become a planet in a galaxy. She also incorporates animation in this practice, where she studys natural processes such as the insect metamorphosis, and reprocess it in a digital format.
