Takuto Ohta's Asymptotic Wood series creatively explores the potential of raw cedar, addressing its redundancy in modern timber construction. By employing deep cuts to symbolize an asymptote, Ohta creates visual tension that reveals the inherent beauty and irregularities of cedar. This work not only revitalizes local materials, but also calls for a reconnection with the natural world amidst increasing globalization and material standardization. Each piece serves as a reminder of wood's historical significance in architecture and the need to appreciate its unique qualities in contemporary design.
Takuto Ohta's Asymptotic Wood series revives the expressive potential of cedar wood through sculptural interventions that counteract the standardization of timber in construction.
Through deep incisions, Ohta crafts a striking visual tension that highlights the material's hidden beauty and complexity, reminding us of wood’s natural richness.
