About this artwork
[Materials]
silk (outside-layer) , wooden frame (under-layer), pine branch slices
[Story behind the work]
The art piece uses two sides - front and reverse - of the same kimono, to show beautiful sea surrounding Japan, in hues and in late sunset, as a timelapse.
[Explanation and meaning of pattern and colors]
Sea waves, depicted in two color variations here, are a symbol of transience and Impermanence in Japanese culture. The ebb and flow of the… tides, the ever-changing currents, and the relentless motion of the waves serve as reminders of the fleeting nature of life. This artwork featuring the sea convey themes of impermanence, reminding viewers to cherish the present moment and appreciate the beauty of life's fleeting moments.
The theme of impermanence is strengthen by two colors of the sea - the lighter in early hues and the darker when the sun is just about to set in the sea.

Lena Okamoto (Sukhoveeva)
Japan
Lena Okamoto is a Tokyo-based textile artist and the founder of ikasu, an art collective that reimagines antique kimonos into contemporary textile artworks. With a BA in Japanese Cultural Studies and a Master’s degree from Tokyo University, my work blends traditional craftsmanship with a modern aesthetic, exploring themes of memory, identity, and transformation.
Each piece begins with a kimono once worn, loved, and aged. Faded colors and imperfections are honored as traces of time. Upcycling a kimono is a quiet dialogue between past and present.
As a certified Kimono Meister and former creative director in advertising, I bring precision and poetic sensibility to practice. My work has been exhibited internationally, inviting viewers into a space of quiet reflection and emotional connection through layered narratives woven in silk and thread.
For me, textile is memory made visible—a way to preserve, reinterpret, and give new life to cultural heritage.
