Yukiko Kuwayama – Japan

Description

I interpret the state of equilibrium as maintaining a balance between two or more existences without mixing them together, while remaining mindful of their individual characteristics. With the gradual transformation of color and shape, my hat expresses the process of approaching a state of equilibrium.
