Asuka SAKUMA

SAKUMA Asuka is a Japanese artist known for using everyday objects as creative materials, with "accumulation" as the core concept of her practice. Her works often reflect on time, life, and the environment, exploring the relationship between the individual and society through the layering and transformation of objects. Sakuma's art not only focuses on physical expression but also deeply embodies the philosophy of life and the flow of time.

Her creative process emphasizes repetitive actions in daily life, transforming these actions into an ongoing artistic practice. Her works often include common objects such as newspapers, tea bags, receipts, and more. Through repetition and layering, she creates dynamic structures.

Sakuma's work emphasizes the process rather than the result. Her artistic expression is open to the viewer, allowing them to interpret and resonate with it based on their own experiences. Her pieces do not provide clear explanations but silently provoke the viewer to think about multiple aspects of life, time, society, the body, and more. The continuous accumulation and transformation in her creative process seem to echo both the impermanence and eternity of life.
