Inspiring Vision: Interface of Being

"We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are." – Anais Nin

In this striking art exhibit at The National Art Center in Tokyo, the artist Shinji Ohmaki's Interface of Being reminds us that our presence, like art, can profoundly influence the spaces we inhabit. The intricate shadows cast by the exhibit's lattice structure symbolize the complex impact we have on our world. Each intersection is a point where personal paths meet collective realities. Ohmaki's work invites us to contemplate the delicate dance between individual existence and communal experience. As Anais Nin poignantly observed, "We don't see things as they are. We see them as we are," suggesting that our perception shapes our reality just as much as reality shapes our perception.
