Een jongen staat naakt met zijn rug naar de kijker toe, zijn rug is bedekt met glitters.

Created by Mayumi Hosokura in 2009-2011. The artwork is a c-print and displayed at 35.5 x 26 cm.

In her series Kazan, Mayumi Hosokura seeks a delicate balance between the tangible and intangible, blurring the boundaries between dream and reality. A constellation of stars blazes across a boy’s bare back, creating a sense of mystery and intimacy. Hosokura subtly contrasts the impermanence of the human body with the infinite grandeur of nature, revealing the fragility of human experience in the face of cosmic timelessness. Her images radiate a gentle melancholy, rooted in an awareness that everlasting beauty is in truth an illusion.

Mayumi Hosokura was one of the artists selected for Foam Talent 2011. Her series Kazan was presented in Foam Magazine #28 Talent Issue and the accompanying talent exhibition.
