In this work, Nao Uesaka paves tiny tiles and places tiny
versions of everyday objects to create fictional miniature
corners on actual streets of Roppongi. Seeing the city as a
space where countless stories unfold, Uesaka creates these
dioramas to tell her own small narratives. The fragments evoke
traces of human presence and scars of forgotten incidents.
Blurring the boundaries between fiction, memory, and reality,
they come together to weave a story that reflects our urban
life.
