The character Rose-chan, who appears in Shingo Iguchi's works, transcends the bounds of the visual world and prompts us to think about the philosophy behind the act of "seeing." Through a focus on the things we cannot see which lie behind the things that we can, he encourages the viewer to meditate on the relationship between the self who sees and the self who is seen by others. His works for this exhibition, which utilize exquisite means of visual expression, touch on the ambiguity of memories and existence while providing opportunities to explore more profoundly the depths of "seeing."
