Rinko Kawauchi
a faraway shining star, twinkling in hand
In a world of change and chaos, there is a quiet revolution in the art of simply being present. It’s in the often-overlooked everyday moments that we find a serene kind of power. In a faraway shining star, twinkling in hand, Rinko Kawauchi inspires us to slow down and reflect on how to make the most of living here and now.
Bringing together the personal and the universal, Kawauchi celebrates small everyday situations in the face of grand natural phenomena. Her 2019 visit to Iceland allowed her pause and reflect, inspiring her series M/E, “Mother Earth”. She continued the project on the Japanese island of Hokkaido amid the COVID-19 pandemic and major life changes, such as becoming a parent.
“As I gazed at this sight, I had the sense of being a fetus enveloped by the earth, and I felt a connection to this planet I have never felt before.”
The exhibition immerses you in dreamy and poetic imagery, from childhood nostalgia to breathtaking depictions of nature. Through Kawauchi’s exploration of human impermanence and our planet's future, she invites us to examine our lives here and now.
