Chiharu Shiota's work is an emotional excavation, reflecting her own life experiences of pain, longing, joy, and grief, as showcased in her immersive installations.
Her installation 'Crossing Paths with Fate' features boats suspended in a surreal forest of red nylon, creating a dream-like quality where forms appear and disappear.
In 'Silent Concert', a burnt piano represents childhood trauma, surrounded by black thread that weaves through space, intensifying the emotional weight of the artwork.
Shiota's installations take immense effort to create; for instance, 30 people worked nine days to weave together the 400 kilometers of thread used in her exhibition.
