Yasushi Ikejiri: Traces of Dreams

After astonishing audiences with elaborate pieces at his 2024 New York solo exhibition, Ikejiri returns this year with another series of works that employ candy wrappers as their motif. Wrappers are designed to appeal to viewers, but once discarded, they are truly empty and somewhat sorrowful objects. The artist builds on that sense of transience to create artworks that surpass mere representation.
