DiaporamaEchoes- Flowers Myth
Echoes – Flowers Myth is a new attempt of the series “Echoes.” This piece expresses the awareness of the existence of an object by viewing the empty space that the object once occupied. By drawing flowers on an empty space, Ohmaki captures the story of an object as a blank silhouette or “shade,” visualizing the absence of that which should be there. By confronting the notions of existence and absence, Ohmaki intends for his audience to interpret the blank spaces as irrefutable evidence of the removed object. The patterns and motifs used in the piece are traditional Japanese flowers. Thus, the artist creates complex layers of time, past and present, in addition to addressing the concept of existence. The flowers on the table interweave the stories of the objects by unfolding time like a picture scroll.
