Label copy

Suspended upside-down, a figure is surrounded by reflective shards in an otherworldly environment of pastel shades. Break me captures Kojima’s introspective exploration of the subconscious, sensation, and isolation. The artist’s use of perspective and swirling patterns draws us deep into the canvas, inviting us into a dreamlike world.
