Yaskawa

An iron Japanese woman assembled from reused machine parts, locks, bicycle parts, and metal.

“The Japanese Woman” was created before and during the Covid period from used machine parts I received from closed factories, rejected lock components, bicycle parts, and many other metals. From these materials I formed Japanese symbols and “stitched” them together into a kimono.

The result is a Japanese woman extending a heart full of love – a woman of iron: powerful, feminine, and carrying the weight of family and home.
