Capsule (2024)


This artwork captures an office worker in a formal suit, standing inside a rectangular capsule. The geometric shape is created through a process of carefully scraping the paper, with curled strips of material collected and arranged at the base of the form. These physical interventions add a subtle three-dimensionality to the piece. 

Part of the Ganbatte series. Shot in Tokyo, Japan.
