The most defining feature of this portfolio lies in her collage works, created during an intensely creative period spanning a mere six years, after she was discovered by art critic Shuzo Takiguchi. By skillfully combining photographs and printed matter from magazines to construct her own distinctive surrealist world, her approach conjures dreamlike images that draw viewers into the depths of the artist's imagination. To express this whimsical body of work, the publication takes the form of her first domestic collection published by Kawade Shobo Shinsha in 2015. Featuring 77 plates selected by the artist herself, alongside her texts and interviews, this volume serves as an art piece that allows readers to experience the quiet yet profound depth of the artist's expression through both sight and touch.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kawade Shobo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53691685208353,"sku":null,"price":23.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/0218\/1921\/files\/1_20af5d66-f5b9-48ac-a7d4-7c00dea18eda.jpg?v=1791438822","url":"https:\/\/btob.bookandsons.com\/products\/a-long-journey","provider":"BOOK AND SONS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
