Betweenness
49 x16 x 0.02inch
I am intrigued by the architectural in-between space in Japanese teahouses; half of which is inside private space while the other half is outside public space. In this piece, the viewer experiences a sense of life and death expressed through the bullets` holes in the suspended mirror surfaces. At the same time, the blue gradation signifies the purity of Sennyuji Temple’s water, while the gold surface is reminiscent of the gold often used in Buddhist art.
