Tracing Light

YOD TOKYO is pleased to present the group exhibition ‘Tracing Light’ by Ayami Ueda, Mihoko Tsuji, and Mayumi Tsuzuki.

Through each artist's unique expression of light, this exhibition presents works that invite viewers to trace their own memories and contemplate the backgrounds of the depicted motifs.

Light is an ambiguous presence without form. It constantly exists within our daily lives, changing its appearance depending on location, angle, and time. It is through light that we perceive color, making it an indispensable element in painting as well.
Light leaking from homes, neon signs sparkling in the nightscape, dazzling sunlight pouring down on plants.
The presence of light can convey warmth, yet it can also express solitude. How it is perceived, and the stories imagined from it, differ based on each viewer's experiences and memories.

Familiar landscapes, everyday subjects, and the light existing within those spaces.
Where the gaze follows the light, past memories and new scenes overlap.
