Sayuri Ichida｜Absentee Sayuri Ichida

Based in the UK, Japanese artist Sayuri Ichida explores the complexities of human emotion through her depictions of the human form and sculptural objects, often reflecting her own memories and life experiences.

This selection features six pieces from her series Absentee, originally published as a book in 2022. Using her own body as the subject, the work evokes a profound sense of detachment—an estrangement from the self or reality, as suggested by the title's reference to one who is absent.
