Takahiro Iwasaki


Born in Hiroshima, Japan, 1975 Takahiro Iwasaki is a force to be reckoned with! From detailed landscapes to intricately carved rolls of tape, Iwasaki transforms everyday objects and turns them into these amazing sculptures. The quote below was taken from his collection, featuring structures made from string on mountain formed from fabric. 

 “A phenomenon creates an image for a moment and then it immediately disappears. This is like the false image of a medieval temple being reflected momentarily in the pond that surrounds it, or the undulating contours of a mountain range formed and changed over an eternity. The false image reflected in the water is sculpted in a moment. With delicate towel cloth, solid mountains are presented as an unstable existence. The images reflected in the water, the pylons on the top of the mountains, and the construction cranes complement and resonate each other in fleeting moments”. Takahiro Iwasaki, 2010.
