About the Artwork

Inspired by the ballet “Le Spectre de la Rose” performed by Vaslav Nijinsky, I expressed the contraries in life such as success and discouragement, sanity and insanity, men and women in the katamigawari, a kimono using a textile with a different texture or pattern on the back side of the kimono.
