Hiroshi Arai’s Laboratory of “kutu” 2021SS Virtual Exhibition is start now.
My work is to turn leather into shoes to express life. I had a lot of opportunities to think about life and living because of an emergency of covit19. Therefore, the theme is “LIFE” this time. I’ve made up a work that can feel the difference between inorganic and organic substances, and also can feel leather is alive.
Please take a look.

This Collection thema is “C(Carbon atom)”.
Life = organic matter, and its central atom carbon (Carbon). 2/3 of the dry weight of the animal be carbon. Existence that can take extremely diverse forms in both single substance and compound.
From such characteristics, it can be felt more organically, with the image that it is changing greatly in connection with the content of “(the shoes) becoming a monster” which is one of our main themes. We aimed at the finish of leather shoes.
Please do come.
