TOPAZ ARTS Visual Arts Program is pleased to present photography by Satomi Shirai in her first solo exhibition in New York. "Home and Home" is a solo exhibition featuring a photography series by Satomi Shirai who explores duality and displacement in defining cultural identity. In these large-scale photographs, viewers peer into personal space and habitats. Whether real or imagined spaces, Shirai's images convey a portrait of home — displaying Japanese sensibilities, where the artist is originally from, within the context her life in New York. Placing herself within the photograph, there is a performative aspect to her imagery, capturing the physicality and psyche of interior space. In her latest series, Shirai reconstructs a dollhouse, placing familiar objects in a dislocated arrangement, and then enlarges the image, inviting the viewer into the realm of familiarity and uncertainty. more about the current exhibition >
