I encountered the "Yaekabane" red plum blossom at Atami Plum Garden, which boasts vibrant yet soft colors.
Captivated by its beauty, this work beautifully depicts it together with the white plum blossoms in the background. While Atami is often associated with its ocean scenery, this piece focuses on the vitality of the plum blossom, a symbol of spring, and brings out its charm.

This artwork is inspired by the "whirlpool," a symbol of rebirth in the East.
Inspired by Motoi Yamamoto's signature salt installations, the artwork is painted with acrylic paint mixed with glass fibers, and the canvas is composed of lines that mimic the texture of salt crystals.
For artist Motoi Yamamoto, the act of drawing lines is a journey through past memories, imbued with personal prayers and his own responses to questions about life and death.

Furthermore, the use of gold leaf in the artwork embodies the timeless brilliance inherent in gold, a material that has symbolized eternity throughout history and across cultures.

In the "Layered Time" series, multiple lines are layered on top of a line that has already been drawn, as if tracing memories.
The repeatedly depicted swirling patterns represent the quiet but sure accumulation of time, and each line remains on the canvas as a trace of the artist's own experiences and thoughts.
The deepening density and fluctuations of lines, achieved through repeated layering, cast deep shadows, visualizing the passage of time, the complexity of memories, and the very process of regeneration.
Furthermore, the use of gold leaf creates a layer of time that embodies eternity, quietly radiating a radiant glow.

Dusk and early morning are times of the day when you feel the passage of time most acutely, and the scenery changes moment by moment with the colors of the clouds and sky, creating a vibrant array of colors that makes you feel a pang of sadness at their passing.
