Hideki Iinuma, (Nagano Japan,1975) explores the intersection of tradition and modernity, reflecting both the fleeting beauty of cherry blossoms, blooming and falling within a week, and the fast-changing rhythm of fashion. Through wooden sculpture, Iinuma captures impermanence and transformation. Rooted in the Japanese aesthetic of wabi-sabi, Iinuma embraces the natural imperfections of wood, allowing its organic forms to guide his process. At times refined, at times raw, his sculptures balance control and spontaneity, permanence and decay. They become quiet reflections on time and nature, while carrying the pulse of the present.
