This exhibition features works by Ayakoh Furukawa-Leonart. This time, Ayakoh presents a series of drawings and paintings that evoke the unsettled feelings of childhood that still linger in everyone's heart.

Not all childhood experiences are pure and carefree. Many people grow up with anxiety about nostalgic memories, and many live with unhealed emotional wounds. The artist embodies these emotions and states of mind in various ways. Some works may evoke a sense of confronting the poison in your soul and reopening your wounds. However, what the artists want to convey through her works is that there is a beautiful soul within you that will never be lost.

In the backroom of the gallery, Toki Ozaki adds another layer to this exhibition. She creates multimedia objects and woven works. These abstract, landscape-like pieces are inspired by places the artist has been. They suggest feelings of uncertainty, distorted memories, and nostalgic stories.

In this exhibition, you will encounter works that become more endearing each time you see them.
