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.

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.
