This group exhibition was planned as the first of its kind at YONABE GALLERY. The theme is "RESONANCE," which is also the concept of the gallery, and four internationally acclaimed contemporary artists will be participating.

After building a career as a graphic designer and illustrator, he began his career as an artist. In 2012, he moved to Berlin, where he is currently engaged in fieldwork to build close relationships with local communities, driven by his deep interest in ethnology and cultural anthropology. He has traveled around the world, including Namibia, Mexico, Mongolia, and India, and the knowledge and experiences he has gained from these journeys are reflected in his work. He is currently based in Nagoya. This exhibition will feature collages that reconstruct objects and tools that are taken for granted in modern society, and are based on the theme of "future indigenous peoples." Through his unique artworks that skillfully use fashion magazine clippings and other materials, he challenges the authority of art.
