Midori Harima

Lost Acquisition (Wolf)

"Lost Acquisition (Wolf)" by Midori Harima is a striking work that evokes the tension between wildness and possession, suggesting themes of pursuit, longing, and the elusive nature of control. The wolf, as subject, serves as a powerful symbol of untamable instinct set against the implied human desire to claim or define it. Harima's piece invites reflection on what it means to seek ownership over that which is inherently free.
