TEMPLE, SEVENTH Gallery, Curated by Michael Kennedy, Featuring Seojin Kim, KAITO Itsuki, Waka Yoshida, KaYoung CHOI, Michael Kennedy


Never knowing why our paths cross. Nor when it may occur. Your life so far away. Two stories beneath distant skies. The vertical thread is you, the horizontal thread is me. The cloth it weaves may keep someone warm. Fray after searching for the purpose of life. Fray after stumbling while chasing a dream. What to make of these threads?. Trembled with loneliness in the wind. The vertical thread is you, the horizontal thread is me. The cloth it weaves may cover someone's wounds. The vertical thread is you, the horizontal thread is me. When crossed paths. It's called fate. Miyuki Nakajima - Ito (糸; Thread)
