Silent Dialogue Wooden Sculpture Series

ストーリー

Silent Dialogue is a series of wooden sculptures that explores unspoken emotional exchanges between figures. Through meticulously crafted wood carving techniques, the artist creates a collection of faceless, speechless human figures, which convey emotional communication without words. The dialogue is not verbal, but expressed through subtle body language, posture, gaze, and the intricate details of each wood grain and carved line, revealing the profound emotional connection between the figures.

The facial expressions of the sculpted figures are deliberately omitted. Instead, their body language and posture take center stage. Whether it is a posture of mutual support, a subtle touch between fingers, or a distant yet attentive stance, each pose conveys emotions that words cannot express. From every angle, composition, and the flow of wood grain, viewers can feel the inner turbulence of the figures, as if each sculpture is silently narrating an untold story.

Silent Dialogue is not just a visual representation of human form; it is a profound reflection on the essence of human emotions. In modern society, language often serves as the primary tool for emotional expression. However, the artist demonstrates through this series that emotions are not limited to words—they can also be communicated through the stillness of body language and posture. These works encourage viewers to reconsider how emotional communication happens without language and how we perceive each other’s inner worlds without the need for spoken words.

This project will be launched via a crowdfunding platform. The funds raised will be used for procuring wood, updating and maintaining carving tools, covering sculpting expenses, and exhibition setup and arrangement. The artist hopes to offer viewers a unique opportunity to experience the transmission of emotions through silence and to touch the warmth and power of wood carving art.
