At first glance, Yukino Ohmura’s work appears to be a night scene, but on closer inspection, it is in fact made of stickers. This work jolts the general concepts that we carry with us unconsciously. Regardless of medium, a single idea can create something priceless, leading to exciting changes. By replacing images with mass produced stationery goods, Ohmura issues a wake-up call to the day to day deterioration caused by digital and electronic power, as well as the environmental destruction this causes.
