This first Ghost Garden piece is created as a collaboration work with a studio partner at the time Evan Fay in 2020. After the completion this piece was presented at a group exhibition Never Normal at Wasserman Projects Gallery in Detroit in 2020.

With its minimalist design featuring two rounded surfaces, this piece adds a subtle sense of art and utility to any space, such as entranceways, room corners, or other desired locations.

I imagined interior objects as personalities in a home. The Roommate lamp functions like a houseplant, brightening up our daily lives.

This is another collaboration piece created with my studio partner at the time, Evan Fay. We transformed natural sea sponge into textured seat padding.

Unlike the first Ghost Garden piece, this two-tiered table features more brazed branches on top, expressing wild growth as if the tree appreciates the freedom of growing up towards the sky.

This Hideaway Chair, upholstered in brown velvet, showcases a rich interplay of highlights, shadows, and wrinkles on the back cushion.

After completing the Roommate Stand Lamp, I expanded the design to include a desktop lamp featuring a small candelabra globe bulb and thinner steel rods for the loops.

Click Clock is a timepiece with softly sculpted lines that hint at the time of the day. Shadows of the surface change with the path of sunlight reflecting upon the silent moment in the clamor of life.

This wall decor, crafted using the techniques and processes of the Ghost Garden series, was made as a Christmas gift for a friend. Influenced from Harry Bertoia's jewelry work, the petal-shaped elements on this wall decor are made of folded steel and connected through nut and screws.

The ivory bouclé fabric on this Hideaway Chair was used to add a soft plush and nubby texture, offering soft and tactile feel.

This pendant lamp, another addition to the Roommate Lamp series, is currently hanging from the ceiling in Ayako's studio. It features a small candelabra globe bulb and thinner steel rods for the loops.

Once it's closed up, the cylinder-shaped wall creates a cozy and quiet escape nook separated from the outside world. The sewn ruffles express the protective warmth to hold and envelop the person seated inside.
