'one.' signifies this trust and the unique collaborations that arise from it.
Explained: The Artwork 'one.'
At its core,
'one.' is a visual spectacle that employs acrylic spheres elegantly arranged on a liquid crystal display. The resulting visuals refract images to create an intricate, multi-layered effect. The piece dynamically showcases the merging of twelve individual faces, intertwined against a shifting backdrop of landscapes and digital content. This transformation visually encapsulates the beauty of 'co-creation,' emphasizing how connections among individuals can forge new meanings and meanings.
Message from Akihiko Shimoyama

I feel deeply honored to contribute to such an important event. This experience has fueled my ambition to undertake even more substantial artistic projects at future expos."
He hopes that the installation will resonate with visitors, leaving a lasting impression of
trust and
co-creation that crosses cultural boundaries.
