PAGIC Gallery is pleased to announce Sachiko Miki’s solo exhibition, “Anyway the Wind Blows.”
Miki has long been drawn to the human form—not merely its outward appearance, but also the invisible realms intertwined with it: consciousness, memory, and experience.
Through her attentive observation, she explores the ways in which the visible and invisible aspects of humanity intersect. At times they harmonize as a unified presence; at other times, they reveal a gap between the physical body and the intangible essence it contains. Yet even those elements that appear distant at first glance often reveal deep, intrinsic connections beneath the surface.
In this exhibition, Miki presents a series of multifaceted sketches and works that consider the human form as part of the broader current of life. Incorporating new materials and perspectives, this body of work strongly resonates with the theme of “Flow” in the upcoming BIWAKO BIENNALE 2025, and serves as an ongoing inquiry into the human condition as it shifts through time.
