Biography
Shiko Miyake
The existence of things around us, including myself, is uncertain.
The reality in front of us is just a transient moment, and it is difficult to prove absolute existence.
My works are mainly themed on such elusive “existence” and question the relationship between nature and humans through multifaceted expressions.
In recent years, I am incorporating plants as materials and create works that vary according to the four seasons.
I would like to continue creating works that fit in and live with the place and that are loved by people.
