Tokyo visit 6th Feb 2023 7days stay visiting
I Had always wanted to go to Tokyo it was wrapped in a dream of the future of technology art and fashion food intrigued by another world the opportunity came up to go 12-hour flight fascinated by the culture my thoughts of going was that going as an adult would it
Still, be the place that I had dreamed of.
Open to the experience I found it to be a great eye-opener to a different world I began to think about the layers of culture via the people wondering what are the fibres that potentially glue Tokyo together.
I was very taken in by how people carry themselves and how there appeared to be a love for technology future with a respect for the old. A balance of some sort.
Maybe I was struck by this because the world appear to be looking a bit strange around me.
However, I came back with photos and thoughts
Of looking at Japan and its history and ideas and philosophy. Looking at Wabi Sabi kintsugi connected the dots back to the book. Looking forward to creating something that could be internally reflective. Within this thought pattern, I think about how I have previously looked at Traces Water human relationships within a working environment these subjects seem to echo some kind of meaning for the unsentimental of the self. Traces life routed but moving water still reflective and my wire work that looked human relationships within these spaces being strong resilient the fabric of a place. With thoughts of bringing old worlds into new remixing with meaning and feeling
