ASUKA ZEN will be holding her solo exhibition “The final chapter of life” at our creative studio “CONTRAST.” from April 18th, Friday to 29th, Tuesday.

I am creating my works based on my own personal experiences. In this exhibition, I engage in a profound reflection on my origins, revisiting the memories of my childhood spent at my father’s construction sites.
My father was involved in numerous projects that contributed to urban development, and it purely was a great joy to witness the transformation of naked landscapes into thriving structures. The construction site became my playground.
Now, I have projected construction process onto human experience. What have individuals been stacking on in their lives, and what visions of the future are they actively shaping? If the completed buildings and places symbolize the final destination of life, what defines the goals or completions, and I wonder what we could see in the view there.
I aspire for this exhibition to provoke contemplation among viewers about your own journey, recognizing that we cannot deconstruct our lives in midway that there is no turning back.
It is my intention to convey that “the final destination” is beautiful precisely because of the time and history that has been accumulated and enriched along the way, and I wish to prove that this is what life is all about.
