Takuto Ohta's reinterpretation of the traditional torii gate with a bold vermilion color and three pillars challenges perceptions of sacred space and spirituality.
Through Convenience 'God', Ohta explores the fluidity and adaptability of the torii's form, applying it in various contexts beyond its conventional religious significance.
By employing a strikingly vibrant vermilion, chosen despite his ambivalence toward color, Ohta evokes both reverence and curiosity, redefining the viewer's experience.
Ohta deliberately avoids strict interpretations of the three-pillar structure, aiming instead for a sense of mystery, allowing personal reflection on its symbolic significance.
