KAKA

Kaka / Wood sculptor. Born in China in 1995. Completed the Master's program in Fine Arts at Joshibi University of Art and Design in 2021.
Based on the traditional three-dimensional technique of "Ichiboku-zukuri" from the Heian period, he creates works that explore the themes of the creation and transformation of life. In working with wood as a material, he has come to see not only the completed form, but also the temporality and physicality inherent in the act of carving itself as the core of his expression.
In his recent "Mushroom Bird" series, he fuses the disparate creatures of fungi and birds to create sculptures that explore the evolutionary process and the fluctuating boundaries between species. The mushroom's ability to change shape in response to its environment overlaps with the artist's own inner sensibilities, and the sculptures transcend mere symbols, emerging as beings that encompass the cycle of life and the irreversible flow of time. By emphasizing the balance between the texture of the material and the form, and not overly defining meaning, the works offer the viewer the opportunity for multi-layered interpretations.
