In this video, Etsu Egami reflects on her distinctive brushwork and the influences behind her show MELODY, featuring a series of portraits that dissolve the boundaries between tradition and contemporary expression.
Egami reinterprets the language of painting through broad, translucent brushstrokes, drawing from calligraphy and Eastern artistic traditions. Her works navigate themes of identity, communication, and cultural hybridity, capturing fleeting moments of presence in luminous layers of color.
