At the age of 22, Motoi Yamamoto left his job at the dockyards to pursue art full-time. Six years later, he embarks on an artistic journey to memorialize the death of his younger sister who died from complications with brain cancer. Motoi draws out a labyrinth to symbolize a map of the brain, letting memories guide his hand, while allowing imperfections in the floor to dictate the layout of the design. At the end of each exhibition, the community is invited back to clear out the salt; taking the salt away in various containers and returning it to the sea.
patience is the key, and don’t sneeze! pain-stakingly beautiful!
