Balance(!!) was at the center of this entire project. Admittedly, I found it rather difficult in the beginning to squeeze my own voice into the project. As I made myself more aware of Sato's visual intentions, beyond face value, it became easier to adopt a similar decision-making process; doing my best to embody his values within my own thinking.

Sato once spoke of a tea ceremony being much more than the physical act of coming together and drinking, but is shaped by the cultural richness that grounds it. In the same way, his work expresses auras that are beyond therealm of physicality, exploring realities that may be beyond our current comprehension.
