A MULTI-LAYERED IMAGERY

Sayaka Maruyama's practice traverses the mediums of photography, film, drawings, collages, on classical Japanese references and surrealist motifs. Her work explores contradictory contemporary understandings of Japanese notions of beauty, from both Western and Eastern perspectives. Maruyama primarily gained notoriety for her Japan Avant-Garde series, in which the artist intertwined digitally manipulated images with elements of paper collage and watercolour paint to create intricate, multi-layered imagery, extolling a sense of beauty.
