However, at the same time, excessive light has the power to take lives, destroy, and deteriorate objects. This exhibition expresses this powerful energy of “light” through its artworks. This is Inumaru’s first solo exhibition in Japan since moving to France in 2008. It is an attempt to share the light he has sensed during his 18 years living in France.
