This work is a metaphor for the light that is to be found in the volatile, uncertain, complex and obscure dimension of modern society, which stand in contradiction the natural environment. We express this idea by weaving together long balloons into a flat piece and warping its surface. The aim of this work is not to blame injustice and absurdity, but to quietly reflect on our inner conflicts and to instill the hope that we can adapt ourselves freely to the unpredictable turbulence of our world.

ARTISTS

DAISY BALLOON

DAISY BALLOON is a balloon unit of worldwide balloon artist Rie Hosokai and art director/graphic designer Takashi Kawada.
Since forming in 2008, they have produced many balloon art works based on the themes of “sense and quality.” Above all, the balloon dresses have fascinated many people through the intricacy of detail that suggests architectural qualities.
