About the artwork
Ephemeral Yūgen depicts the moment when an anomalous being appears, dances, and dissolves into the air.
Its figure is rendered through an anime-like proxy representation, yet it can only be experienced as a fleeting manifestation of beauty.
“Yūgen” here refers to a Japanese aesthetic concept of profound depth—an elusive beauty that cannot be reduced to words or form.
Within its ephemerality and ungraspability, existence is granted a brief appearance before moving toward a disappearance whose course remains uncertain.
