アーティストは、3日間にわたり瞑想と断食をしながら自らの髪を作品に結びつけてゆく。3日目のオープニングデイに断髪し、作品がうみだされる。神々しい雰囲気の中、大きな作品がこの世に誕生した。

それは地球の内なるエネルギーがマグマとなって地表に噴出し、山を作り、地球を作るような作業に思えた。ぜひ、このパワフルな作品を見に来てください。

The artists meditated and fasted for three days, during which time they tied their own hair into the artwork. On the opening day of the third day, he cut his own hair and the work was born. In the divine atmosphere, a large work of art was born into the world.

Please come and see this powerful work of art.

It was as if the earth’s inner energy had become magma and erupted onto the surface of the earth, forming mountains and creating the earth.

Concept

For the third performance of a series, Maeda will pray for three days, pacing in meditation, sewing raw silk into her painting and tying strands of her hair to the thread. In 2021, inspiration for the exhibition began from a dream of “Volcanic Energy” which erupts profound sentiment within us. Her intention is to remove blockages and be in harmonic flow for us all to carry light. On the finale of her performance and the beginning of the exhibition, February 18th, 2023 from 5:00-8:00pm, Maeda will have her head shaved to gratefully release what no longer resonates with us.

“May we connect to our center, let our inner volcano erupt, create our own foundation and allow ourselves to live our lives with the light of our inner life force that we have received”
