Intangible Forms
Shohei Fujimoto, a Japanese multimedia artist, transforms light into movement to examine the unseen forces binding all living beings. Each piece becomes a meditation on humanity’s search for meaning amid the rhythms of chaos and order.
*Please note that this exhibition features lasers, strobes, and water-based haze effects and is not recommended for those with a history of light sensitivity.
Gift Jukebox
