In an era where political sentiments increasingly turn against people considered “outsiders,” Shino offers a personal story of migration - from Japan to the Netherlands and eventually to Belgium and her travels through Europe and to Japan and the US. Her work explores the complex interplay of displacement, identity and the relentless pursuit of desires and turning desires into something physical. Shino aims not only to provoke conscious reflection but also to resonate with the viewer's subconscious and address his or her visceral perceptions.
