Artist Comment / Kana Ueda

Her series of works, "#illusion," is based on the blurry images that appear while Instagram is loading.
The vague images that appear on the loading screen stimulate the viewer's imagination as neutral entities whose time and place cannot be pinpointed.
After noticing this phenomenon, I began attempting to capture the illusions that flow by every day in print form.
When a blurry image is subjected to coarse halftone dots and then silkscreened, the image is converted into dots, making it even more fuzzy.
Something that becomes visible precisely because it cannot be seen - it becomes a mirror that reflects the viewer himself.

The title of this work, "#beingoflight," means "the presence of light."
This work was created with the image of a person radiating energy and power to those around him like a wave of energy.
