Chiharu Shiota

Dress

A delicate garment is suspended within a dense web of intricately woven threads, evoking themes of memory, identity, and the traces left behind by human presence. Shiota's signature use of entangled yarn creates a visceral tension between the physical object and the invisible forces of longing and absence that surround it. The dress becomes both a relic and a symbol, caught between the past and the present in an immersive, dreamlike installation.
