Fujiwara Takahiro
Tokyo, Japan
Fujiwara Takahiro’s "Into the Blue" is a giant, illuminated, transparent
cone-shaped balloon. Its shape is achieved through the stacking of inflatable donut-shaped soft acrylic
tubes of successively diminishing sizes. Floating in the middle of the Eaton Centre, "Into the Blue" will
present two distinct faces. From a distance, it will reflect and refract the surrounding light. Up close,
one will be able to walk beneath the work and experience it as an environment. Looking up into the interior
will present a dazzling light array, refracted through
the complex layers of soft acrylic material.
