Cited from Louvre Abu Dhabi’s press release on Ryoichi’s work “skadw-”: Ryoichi’s winning work skadw- transforms shadows into an immersive form. The atmospheric installation uses light, sound, and drifting fog to shape a shifting landscape of shadow. A narrow beam moves through layers of mist, generating patterns that appear and dissolve, giving shadow a physical presence. This year’s theme of Shadows inspired Ryoichi to approach shadow not as a by-product of light, but as a substance that shapes how we sense space. Ryoichi drew from the Japanese notion of Ma, the appreciation of intervals, emptiness, and the spaces between things. Through this concept, Ryoichi created a contemplative environment where viewers are encouraged to experience absence as something vivid and almost tangible. _____________ Images: image 1: ©︎ Richard Mille 2025
