FIlm - Makiko Minowa
This is a collection of works by illustrator Makiko Minowa, who is active in magazines, advertisements, and book cover designs.
Makiko Minowa's works always have a hint of loneliness and nostalgia. They seem to tickle forgotten memories and make you sense the continuation of an unseen dream.
The "ordinary scenery" that was right in front of the artist's eyes will overlap with the viewer's own "everyday life", and will evoke countless other "ordinary sceneries" that are nowhere and everywhere at the same time.
