Shape of Water
-Harmony of Painting and Sculpture II-

If we were born from water, our art should be rise from the spiritual world which has quality of the capital of water.
The collaborated exhibition of Hidetoshi.Takahama and Jun.Ogata attempts to realise us the quality of the world where we should return with the shape of the transformed of water. Also that would restore our memory of water and remind us that we were the water.
