Ayako Rokkaku's works emerge directly and tactilely—paint is applied by hand, clay is shaped, fabrics are collected and sewn together, glass is guided—thus, the materials reflect the immediacy of her encounters. She allows landscapes to flow into her everyday life: the light of new cities, the textures of markets, the rhythm of the coast.

The glass pieces from Murano bear the traces of her gestures, while a fabric installation, inspired by Namsan Hill in Seoul, unites threads and found objects from Dongdaemun Market. The ceramic sculptures from Mallorca reflect the warmth of the Mediterranean surroundings, and bronze works from Berlin preserve the vibrancy of the hand-formed models.
A new series of paintings accompanies the sculptures: flowing colors suggest mountains, sea, and landscapes without defining them—landscapes are not depicted, but felt.
Throughout the nave, Rokkaku's works create a space in which touch and perception merge, scenes become visible and simultaneously remain in the process of creation.
