"Ikigai" is a captivating artwork that beckons viewers into a realm of introspection and otherworldly wonder. Crafted with a harmonious blend of Acrylic Paint, Plaster, Hemp Rope, and Linen, the piece embodies the ethos of wabi-sabi while evoking a sense of mystical allure.
At its heart lies a rusted-looking block of color, reminiscent of a weathered door suspended in mid-air — a portal to an alternate dimension. The earth-toned palette that surrounds it resonates with the grounded energy of the natural world, inviting viewers to journey beyond the confines of ordinary perception.
The use of Hemp Rope and Linen adds a tactile dimension to the artwork, infusing it with a sense of ancient wisdom and enduring resilience. Each texture tells a story of time's passage, bearing the marks of its journey with grace and humility.
