This is the public profile of Aya Kawabata, Additional information and high-resolution images are available for accredited press members, to access additional information about Aya Kawabata please login as a press member.I often contemplate the void that
surrounds my world. Between object and object, space and object, and time length and depth, there are so many voids that we cannot see. I think it is really similar to composing music.
I believe design is one of the ways to construct a specific story that figures out the void in my world.
