加藤千佳 Chika Kato

加藤千佳作品中存有的「儚い」概念，它代表著虛幻、脆弱和無常的狀態。她以「玻璃」這個堅硬卻易碎的材料，藉此描繪那些終將消逝的現象，從中提取出存在於記憶中的美感。透過她的作品，我們可以看到剔透的冰柱、粉白的雪花、流動的積水，以及飄落的葉片，無不用創作指涉了日本文化中對於事物短暫存在和不可逆轉消逝的感傷，並為「物哀」這一哲學美學注入了年輕世代創作者的詮釋與註解。

生命和物質都是有限的，然而時間的流逝卻無可避免地將一切推向消逝。加藤用玻璃承載著生活中諸多的變化，將逐漸淡去的回憶保存下來，這種對物質和時間不可逆轉的消逝所產生的情感，讓我們能夠回顧和體驗那些微妙而美麗的瞬間，感受到生命中每個瞬間的獨特和珍貴。

The concept of “儚い” (hakanai) inherent in Chika Kato’s artwork represents the ephemeral, fragile, and transient nature. Using the medium of glass, which is both hard and fragile, she portrays the phenomena that will ultimately vanish, extracting the beauty that resides in our memories. Through her creations, we can witness transparent ice columns, pure white snowflakes, flowing water, and drifting leaves. Each piece reflects the poignant sentiment of the Japanese culture, acknowledging the temporary existence and irreversible disappearance, while offering the interpretation and annotation of “物哀” from a young generation of artists.

Life and material possessions are finite, however the passage of time inevitably leads everything towards disappearance. Kato carries the transformations of life through the medium of glass, preserving fading memories. The emotions arising from the irreversible vanishing of material and time enable us to revisit and experience those delicate and beautiful moments, allowing us to sense the uniqueness and preciousness of every instant in life.
