Artist, Japanese, born 1959

The image shows a subtle, triangular shape composed of fine, linear patterns on a white background. The form could be reminiscent of a distant mountain peak or the silhouette of an angled roof. The delicate and faint lines create a barely there appearance. The details blend seamlessly into the pale canvas, inviting closer inspection.
