    Honorable Mention in Fine Art / Still Life

Unlike the impression commonly held for colorful and adorable soap bubbles that children play with, their state just before disappearing is very mysterious. Usually when we touch a soap bubble, we will get wet. However it becomes an ultra-thin film that is very ephemeral and if we touch it, our hand is only slightly damp. At the same time, it shows a very curious and dynamic appearance before it breaks. Looking at soap bubbles, which seem to be hovering around the boundaries between existence and non-existence, gives us an opportunity to think about our own existence.

With light as one of the main themes and by applying the theory of optics, she breaks preconceptions and explores the possibility of reconstructing a realistic visual experience by fusing different fields of art and science. With interests in phenomena that are ordinary but overlooked like soap bubbles, and things that are invisible but exist for sure in everyday life, she reconsiders the world around us by using expressive media such as photographs, sculptures, installations, and movies.
