studio SHOKO NARITA explores a wide range of expression with transparent materials,light sources, reflective surfaces, and other diverse elements. At the core of its practice lies a deep inquiry into human vitality, emotion, and the instinctual forces that emerge from within. The works seek to embody an ambiguous,almost primal sense of scenery something like a memory without a clear origin into unfamiliar, artificial forms that reach into the depths of the viewer’s consciousness.
A particular focus is placed on light. Rather than relying on conventional methods of illumination, the studio develops original systems and recipes to construct each work.
Through delicate and ever-changing phenomena, deeply responsive to their environment,the pieces aim to awaken brief yet intense emotional impulses within the observer what-might be described as the moment when a seed of feeling is born.
The encounter with unknown emotions brought about by gazing at light is, for the artist,a profound source of joy. Light, and its act of emitting, becomes not merely a medium but a unique and irreplaceable embodiment of this process.
