YUMEO NAKAYAMA
She has been interested in living things since the age of two.
She draws inspiration from her own real-life experiences.
She creates outdoor installation space works using the ecology and movement motifs of living creatures and nature.
The experiences she focuses on are the sensations and tensions that arise when humans are in actual contact with animals and nature.
She is deepening her research on works that convey the
"relationship between animals and humans" and
"time to think about the world of non-human creatures," which she herself finds fascinating.
She is currently enrolled in the doctoral program of the Department of Design at Tokyo University of the Arts.
