The landscapes around us are filled with beautiful colours and shapes that stimulate our senses. The objects that Asami Togawa have collected and gathered from various familiar everyday landscapes range from being similar in appearance, discovered by chance, slightly tarnished, clashing, or indescribable.

It is not just the shapes and colours of these things that fascinates her, but associated words, smells, and sounds as well. Initially, she collected them simply because she was drawn to their shapes and colours. But as she analysed her collection, she found that a lot of them represent cookie-cutter human ideals or events. She takes these symbolic objects and combine them with other shapes, wood, and clay to create landscapes that exist everywhere and nowhere.
