Yuichi Ikehata’s “Fragment of Long-Term Memory” is a captivating series that blurs the lines between reality and non-reality. The Japanese artist skillfully combines wire, clay, and paper to sculpt fragments of human anatomy, which are then digitally enhanced with hyperrealistic elements such as skin and hair.
This process creates surreal portraits that challenge our perception of the human form. Ikehata’s work is a profound exploration of memory and identity, reflecting on how we piece together our past and present. His sculptures are not just artistic expressions but also a commentary on the ephemeral nature of our existence and the way our memories shape and are shaped by our reality.
