On the occasion of remembering and mourning the passing of Ball Piyaluk with a collection of the artwork "Loved and Gone Series." She created during the treatment of mind and body against cancer.
Piyaluk learns to live with illness, healing and creating art along the way for the past two years through the artist's eyes.
These works will show the life force of one person who still wants to communicate and create art even in the hard times. Hope to see these works will cause a variety of feelings and thoughts to arise in the mind of audiences.
2021年、癌のためこの世を去った 故 ボール ピヤラック氏への追悼の意を、彼女の作品「Loved and Gone Series」のコレクションと共に捧げます。本作品は癌との闘病中、彼女自身の心と身体と向き合いながら制作されました。
彼女は2年もの間、自身の目を通し、病気と一緒に暮らしながら、心身の癒し、そしてアートを創ることを学びました。
本作品は、どんなに苦しい時でも、世の中や人々との繋がりや、アートを生み出すことを強く望むひとりの人間の生命力に溢れています。 彼女の作品をご覧いただくことで、皆様の心に様々な想いや感情が浮かぶことを願っています。
