「A Body Sinking into Work（仕事に沈む身体）」
静かな肯定をするように、混沌の中で生まれ出す。
座った時に生まれる服の波打つ形状や、オフィスチェアと同じ生地を用いた素材に「仕事そのもの」を見ているような感覚になった。
人が仕事に適応しているというより、仕事に身体や生活が飲み込まれていくように感じた。
その印象は、仕事に悩み、思考や感情ごと飲み込まれていた時間と重なった。
この作品では服を「仕事」の象徴として捉え、人がそれを身にまとうことで、仕事に取り込まれていく状態を表現している。
一方で、肌の露出によって手放すという行為を取り入れた。
抱え込み、まとい続けていたものを手放すことで、流れや視点が変わっていく。
その変化の兆しを、身体の露出として静かに示している。
Born quietly out of chaos, this work began as a muted affirmation.
The undulating forms created through the act of sitting, along with the use of materials identical to those found in office chairs, evoke the sensation of work itself.
Rather than people adapting to work, it feels as though bodies and lives are being gradually absorbed into it.
This impression overlaps with a period in my own life when I was struggling with work, sensing that my thoughts and emotions were being consumed.
In this series, garments function as symbols of ‘work’, expressing a state in which the human body is enveloped and ultimately overtaken by it.
At the same time, moments of release are introduced through the exposure of skin.
By letting go of what has been continuously carried and worn, the flow of the body―and one’s perspective―begins to shift.
These subtle signs of change are quietly suggested through what is revealed.
