Introduction

“Organised in collaboration between Union Pacific and Saki Kanaya

Across Skipping Stones, calm observations gradually shift toward blurred, fragmented, internalised images. Initial encounters soften into memory, and translated abstraction brings perception itself into focus. Each artwork offers a small daily experience, moments that have left subtle impressions on the artist and, by extension, the viewer; the skipping stones collected along the way.”
