Title: Kanagawa
Year: 2025
Material: Epoxy resin, pigments, wooden frame, MDF, aluminum
Dimensions: 33 × 33 × 3.5 cm
Series: Japan Prefecture Series
Description:
Kanagawa is part of the ongoing Japan Prefecture Series, in which the official emblems of Japan’s prefectures are reinterpreted through a contemporary, material-driven visual language. The work features the emblem of Kanagawa Prefecture in a clear, luminous red against a white background—a composition distinguished by its graphic precision and reduction.
At the forefront is the relationship between form and space: the interlocking lines of the symbol create a rhythmic unity of repetition and reflection. The translucent layer of epoxy resin introduces an exceptional sense of depth, transforming the static emblem into a floating, almost radiant presence.
The intense red appears both traditional and contemporary—it references Japanese aesthetics, energy, and cultural identity, while the clean geometric structure conveys modernity and balance. Kanagawa merges technical precision with conceptual stillness, demonstrating how graphic symbolism, in dialogue with materiality, can unfold into a new dimension of spatiality.
