Nara creates large scale bronze sculptures with simplified mask like facial features and a commanding monumental presence that closely parallels the abstract facial apertures and imposing scale of Still Dreaming. Both artists work within a Japanese contemporary idiom that channels psychological depth through abstracted figuration in bronze.

Smith produces large scale bronze sculptures with richly textured, topographic surfaces that reward close inspection in the same way Iwamura's deeply ridged layering does, and she similarly uses abstracted figural and mask related forms to evoke interior psychological states. Her monumental cast works share the tactile complexity and contemplative mood of Still Dreaming.

Kaneko is known for monumental abstract sculptures with deeply patterned, layered surface textures and mask like ovoid forms that echo the ridged topographic patterning and abstract facial apertures central to Still Dreaming. His large format work similarly commands immediate physical presence while rewarding detailed surface inspection.
