Ten Thousand Teardrops

Ten Thousand Teardrops

My Paper Creation at the Exhibition, Paper Alchemy

10 Thousand Teardrops is an exploration of love, loss, and the fragile connections that bind us. Using pineapple fibre pulp, cotton thread, and paper, I created a delicate installation of twelve rings suspended from intertwined twigs—each surface worn and perforated, giving a sense of weakness and sadness.

Inspired by the Greek myth of Ariadne, who gave Theseus a ball of red thread to navigate the labyrinth only to be abandoned by him, this piece reflects the moment she watches his ship disappear. The red thread, a symbol of destiny in Japanese folklore, resonates deeply with me. It represents both connection and separation, hope and despair.

Through intricate details and fragile materials, I invite viewers to see the beauty within imperfection, the strength in delicate things, and the threads—both seen and unseen—that weave our stories together.

Exhibition is cancelled

Exhibition is cancelled

Exhibition has cancelled due to Covid outbreak

I am one of the artists who were excited to do the exhibition tomorrow, however, we are disappointed as it has been cancelled due to the Covid outbreak in our area.

Every work has been completed. I prepared some information sheets, price tags and cards… I was ready!
Now a little sadness creeping into my mind. I can’t show and sell my latest works at the exhibition.

Let’s hope that we will celebrate it with the families and friends together, we only have 7 days to Christmas…

Fundraising for WIRES

Fundraising for WIRES

Regeneration after the bushfires

I am participating in the local art project and created 3 artworks.

The project has two keynotes. It is a fundraising project for WIRES. We had very bad bushfire season last time so we’d like to donate all the money raised from the project. Each panel will be sold for $20 each.
The panels have already the outline of the leaf on it and the artists have to use the shape.

So here it is. I’d like to tell you how I approach this project to create my work.

First of all, I thought about the theme, bushfires. I painted the burnt leaves in black with holes. Then I drew the red strings. I like the story of the red string and I often paint them on my work. It is known as a romantic story but I also believe we are all connected.

I added some new green leaves on the red strings and I decided the titles, “Regeneration”

Regeneration 1,2 & 3

25.5×25.5cm each

Acrylic on cotton panels

$20 each

All money raised will be donated to WIRES.
