samawomatou 007

Samawomatou is a Japanese phrase that means to fit in or to blend into the atmosphere of a place. This piece was made from a question "What does this become when the function is removed from the object".On the surface of an antique box with lid, dozens of ultra-fine threads are aligned following the measurments, and dried flowers are placed evenly between the thread.  Floral patterns are notably 2D printed to decorate walls. But by placing real flowers in the space and let it blend in the atmosphere, the artist made a new kind of art piece; a box that has removed the function of “storing". This is a one-of-a-kind work that could only have been created from the artist's own ideas. Norihiko Terayama Born in 1977 in Tochigi Prefecture.
