Uroko
Acrylic on Canvas
19.5" X 30"
My goal of this piece was to achieve representation through simple geometric shapes. Inspired my sister moving to Kyoto, Japan, I decided to make a piece based triangles that represent scales in Japanese culture. I want to keep exploring different shapes meanings in different cultures.
