When we look at people, objects, or spaces, we perceive their outlines by processing superficial information, but these surfaces always contain elements that cannot be put into words. This is because matter is a fluid entity that changes over time, and our bodies, like natural objects, are constantly breathing. Therefore, the thoughts that arise when interacting with an object are unable to grasp the object in detail, and their content must be described as extremely fragmentary. However, naturally, in modern times, these qualities rarely surface. I focus on the ever-changing environment and the influx of information, and by creating works that abstractly express them, I reconstruct elusive sensations, concepts, or memories that must not be forgotten.

Yusuke Wakata was born in 1995 in Ehime, graduated from Musashino Art University in 2017, and enrolled at the Graduate School of Design at the Tokyo University of the Arts.While focusing on the space and the objects in our daily lives, Wakata has produced works which alter fixed idea derived from our unconscious. In order to link the alteration with the daily lives of people , Wakata tries to merge the disciplines of design and fine arts, and aims to produce works that make use of those characteristics.
