Yukari Eda’s Invisible Voice compares the Japanese method of creating Kare-Sansui(Japanese dry garden), with that of the traditional kiva in Native American spiritual practices. Eda observes both spaces as a means to confront “self” through quiet reflection. Each environment is intrinsic to the identity of the cultures that create them. Japanese consider Kare-Sansui a representation of the unique principle concept of consciousness of space. Likewise, kivas were created as communal rooms meant for spiritual reflection, among other uses. Based on the experiences that she obtained in the field research of Native American’s ruins in Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado, Eda produced clothes as a medium to exist between nature and the human body.
The exhibition is made possible by the support of the Nomura Foundation and the School of Art, University of Arizona.
