A BOUQUET OF DIVERSITY - SEITARO YAMAZAKI

ARTWORK

A BOUQUET OF DIVERSITY
2024

stone, wood, cast aluminum, resin
H2070mm W2350mm D2350mm

In this work I want to express the beauty, discomfort and importance of people from diverse backgrounds living together in one city and accepting each other’s differences. Stone, wood, and cast aluminum – these three materials have been through different flows of time and will undergo distinct aging processes in the future. By combining these materials, I aim to represent the peace derived from human evolution and multicultural coexistence, symbolizing the harmony acquired through time.

The distinctive atmosphere that emerges around the artwork will function similarly to the chasitsu in the traditional Japanese tea ceremony. It will serve as a place where everyone becomes equal beyond their positions, a space where individuals become equally valued.
