光 — Light

光 means light. The character stands for brightness, radiance and visible presence — something that changes a space without being tangible itself.

This work by Takemura Chikako brings light into the picture not through colour but through ink, white space and movement. The contrast of black line and bright paper makes the motif come alive.
