Umi (Ocean), 2021

Pen on paper

Umi is a picture book without words, composed of 22 individual drawings made with black ball point pen on paper.

The picture book is inspired by the fear, excitement, and solitude that come with intellectual exploration. The piece was made in dedication to Riku’s high school Japanese Literature teacher.
