Or the reflection of white?<br \/>\nPerhaps it is something latent\u2014or perhaps, it is the reflected light that comes from you, arising in the dialogue between people.<br \/>\nAs I recall each of these rays\u2014these fragments of reflection\u2014I gaze quietly out the window.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"594\" data-end=\"829\">\nJust as deeper light intensifies shadows, my practice begins with perceiving the reverse side of every scene and thing\u2014the land where history and blood have accumulated, and the truth that can only be seen through my own eyes.<br \/>\nBecause everyone carries a kind of paleness within them, I have come to accept and affirm the boundary line.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"956\" data-end=\"1372\">\n\u201cWhen facing someone in daily life, I inevitably think about the boundary line that lies between us. The very act of setting up a sign creates and reinforces that boundary. <br \/>\nThere is the undeniable reality that boundaries are eternal\u2014and with them, the order and comfort they preserve.<br data-start=\"1257\" data-end=\"1260\" \/><br \/>\nThese elements, along with the landscape, reflect and refract one another, shaping the world we inhabit. It may be impossible to cross the boundary itself, yet by standing before it, continuing dialogue, and deepening mutual understanding\u2014that, I believe, is what is asked of us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1576\" data-end=\"1784\">\nAnd as time flows on, one\u2019s body is carried back into the everyday\u2014back before the canvas.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1576\" data-end=\"1784\">The humidity, the land, the fleeting conversations\u2014a glance downward brings a quiet sense of reassurance.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1576\" data-end=\"1784\">Indeed, I am here.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1576\" data-end=\"1784\">And the paintings inherit these memories of mine, preserving them alongside the light.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong>Machi Sugita<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Opening Talk Event<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"26\" data-end=\"179\">To commemorate this exhibition, a talk event will be held featuring Machi Sugita and Kohei Yamada (painter).<br data-start=\"142\" data-end=\"145\" \/><br \/>\nWe warmly invite you to join us.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"26\" data-end=\"179\">Venue: biscuit gallery (Shinjuku)<br \/>\nDate &amp; Time: Saturday, November 29, 13:00\u201314:00<br \/>\nAdmission: Free (Please note that seating is limited.)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/biscuitgallery.com\/en\/machi-sugita\/\"><strong>Machi Sugita<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\n2000\u3000Born in Saitama<br \/>\n2020\u3000BFA, Joshibi University of Art and Design, Junior College of Art and Design<br \/>\n2022\u3000Completed Research Student Program, Joshibi University of Art and Design (Bachelor\u2019s Degree)<\/p>\n<p>Sugita consistently paints \u201clight.\u201d<br \/>\nCity lights emerging from the darkness, vividly flashing neon signs\u2014light serves as a symbol of life and a place of peace for humanity.
