I named the girl "Sachiko" to personify the complex yet pure heart of a young girl.
This is an exhibition of poems and paintings with Shoko as the theme.
T+review
"Shoko" is not the exhibitor's name. Shoko is a fictional girl with a complex and pure heart. At first, I thought "Shoko" was the exhibitor's name. This is because the beautiful handwritten letters on the manuscript paper exhibited and the picture next to it looked like they were made by one person, and I didn't realize that there were actually two exhibitors there. Then the question suddenly came to mind: who on earth is this girl "Shoko"? A girl with a pure and complex heart. That is the girl they created, "Shoko."
Shoko worries, Shoko draws, Shoko writes.
In this exhibition, the exhibitor himself is not visible, and the only person present is "Shoko." She is just one girl. Nothing more, nothing less. But even so, is it possible to erase the presence of the exhibitor to this extent? In fact, it could be said that this exhibition was made possible precisely because it is possible.
There were no difficult words. Something casual, hidden in the everyday, was spread out there, as if it had been cut out. Perhaps I felt that way because the words were woven by a girl who was created by "someone" and not the exhibitor or anyone else. There is something that is conveyed precisely because there are so few words. After learning that she was a creation, I went back into the gallery. The moment I opened the door, I felt as if the formless girl was gently peering at me from the other side of the gallery. (Ota Natsuki)
