Nana Yokoi

Yokoi says that she feels familiar with the fact that they do not have a fixed shape even though they have a name and that they somehow retain their shape before they collapse. Through her works, Yokoi expresses the beauty of small, uncertain things, such as trivial events in daily life and the movements of the mind, with narrative, freshness, and a sense of tension, and transforms them into a certain existence.
