Explore the natural world that exists beyond our sight. Intricately cut Japanese washi and chiyogami papers layered on a kihagaki wooden postcard depict the dynamic interaction between elemental beings—one an emissary of the watery deeps, the other from the realm of air. Between them, a mysterious waveform, symbolizing the pulse of communication and possibility. Through intricate textures and flowing forms, explore themes of connection and the uncertain balance between hope and darkness.
Will this burgeoning connection bring hope, or will it splinter into darkness?
