'The Supernova'

"Emptiness fills the center. This emptiness is exactly what allows this form to exist.

Although a supernova marks the end of a star, it is also the beginning of new matter.
The void is both absence and the creation.

In the Supernova series the focus is on the shapes that are created around the emptiness.
I have continued to work on this series for almost two decades.
Rather than focusing on a fixed style, it is an experiment that continues to evolve throughout my practice."

- Hiroyuki Tomita
