The floating image rides the wind, flows through the water, and sleeps in the soil.Their appearance may be temporary, but they are formed through the eyes of the artist.Or they slip into things that are made and live there.Sometimes it takes possession of a single painting, and sometimes it finds its home in a sculpture.
In this two-person exhibition, pottery artist Yuka Nishihisa and painter Tsugumi Fujita highlight common elements such as Yorishiro, Yuge, and Mitama, and express what can be seen in their respective fields. Exploring the connections between things that cannot be seen.

I once saw a broadcast on a psychic program or something that said that a spirit was dwelling inside a painting. (Omitted) In the first place, the act of painting itself may be creating a place for abstract concepts and amorphous images to acquire some kind of form and take up residence.

I think that the pandemic has sparked an increased interest in the idea of looking at things that have been considered ``invisible'' or ``hard to see'' in search of salvation and refuge.
It seems that clay figurines are thought to be embodiments of the spirits imagined by the Jomon people.
In an age when civilization lacked the conveniences of civilization, ancient people may have been more sensitive to and felt closer to such beings.
I believe that the lives, culture, and spirituality of the people living in that era are hidden in the expressions of the mental images of non-visual beings.
The ``something'' that dwells within the shape that is born in your hands becomes a yorishiro, and a clear shape appears before your eyes.
