Mishima Akihiro Solo Exhibition
“Floating Toward the Sky”
2026.7.3 Fri – 7.12 Sun 11:00–18:00
Concept
Held by the Sky, Still I Live and Relax.
Carrying a multitude of emotions, feeling gravity,
yet continuing to move forward.
Loving what cannot be, becoming a drifting creature.
If life is not eternal,
then beyond meaning, we and the sky float.
