Artist's message
Ryugu Ryugu — it's not darkness, it's beyond the clear blue of light.
At the end of the Okinawan ocean, I'll think of you.
The waves will fill up and return with the light today.
NOMURA Keiko

The theme of “life and death” is always at the root of Keiko Nomura's works. It is not a binary conflict, and it has been viewed as something inseparably linked to each other. Nomura, who left Tokyo in 2020 and moved to Okinawa, which is his roots, further clarified the outline of his expression while interlacing the idea of “Niraikanai,” which is a place where the dead return and a utopia where gods live, with his own view of life and death. Using the tradition of the god of the sea and dragon god handed down in Okinawa as a clue, Nomura is trying to scoop up the layers of life, death, prayer, and time engraved on the island into the “blue” light. That great cycle surrounding life eventually quietly breathes into our interior.
