The character for “Gen” translates to “black” but also implies a broader concept which includes a sense of gravitas and a feeling of profound depth.

In this abstract design, Noriko seeks to capture the endless gradation of “black”. This piece portrays a character that cannot be reduced to a simple definition, but rather which stands for a domain of multiple overlapping meanings without any single fixed identity.
