The mirror-like, fully polished chrome surface of this work draws out the inherent power of metal to its fullest. Light, the surrounding space, and even the viewer’s own reflection become part of the work, revealing a different expression each time it is encountered. One of the early works in UNDULATION’s acclaimed MANDALA series, this piece occupies a significant place in the development of the series and offers a rare glimpse into the formative stage of Kuwai Hana’s distinctive artistic language. It is a work of particular rarity and significance for collectors.
Created a series of carefully layered processes, the deep radiance of the full-chrome finish shifts subtly with the light, environment, and position of the viewer, revealing an expression that exists only in that particular moment. The chrome is not intended to conceal what lies beneath, but rather serves as the final process through which the underlying structure and philosophy of the work are brought into focus. The seemingly cold and industrial surface quietly reflects not only light and its surroundings, but also the emotions and memories of those who encounter it. From the moment it enters a space, it begins to absorb its light and passage of time, continually developing an entirely unique presence. A distinctive work that holds special meaning as a collection, offering a direct encounter with the origins of MANDALA. The work can be displayed either vertically or horizontally, allowing for flexible presentation according to the space and your preference.
