Near<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> builds on the 2024 residency and exhibition <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Murmuring Shores \/ On the Brink<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> at Onomichi City University, continuing a cross-cultural dialogue between artists from Singapore and Japan. Like its predecessor, the title brings together two ideas: the sea as a shared environment, and the act of crossing into unfamiliar territory.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This iteration shifts the focus from sound to sensation. Where <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">murmuring<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> suggested quiet listening, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">salt tongues<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> evokes a tactile, synaesthetic interplay of tasting, touching, and speaking. \u201cSalt\u201d recalls both the sea and the sharpness of flavour, while \u201ctongues\u201d refer to both language and the body. Together, they open a sensory space for connection and exchange.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Salt and language also carry deeper resonances \u2014 of maritime trade, cultural movement, and translation. The phrase <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Far Shores Near<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> plays with notions of distance and proximity, reflecting how two places can feel at once far apart and intimately connected. The exhibition draws on the contrasts between two port cities: Onomichi, where sea mist drifts through wooden hillsides, and Singapore, where a polyglot buzz animates a densely urban landscape.<\/span><\/p><p>Curated by <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wang Ruobing &amp;

In her practice, she engages with various printing processes as a tool to arrive at a new picture plane, often <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">suggesting points of departure, a coming into, and stasis.

Her interdisciplinary practice threads together plant symbolism, collective memory, and emotions of loss, love, and resilience. Working with text, image, sculpture, and site-responsive installation, she situates plants as intermediaries of human experience. Through archival research, field encounters, and community storytelling, she traces how botanical life holds both personal and cultural emotions across time. Her ongoing project, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sad Plant Index<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, maps real and imagined species as repositories of human affect across diverse geographies.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/yj.sg\/\"><strong>Yang Jie<\/strong><\/a> is a sculptor who draws inspiration from the intricate world of objects. From familiar household objects to industrial machines, he is fascinated by how things are made and used, excavating stories and ideas from found objects and machines through the traces of use. Using his background in electronics engineering and sculpture, he reinterprets the human experience through mechanical movements and electronics, transforming repaired and found objects into kinetic sculptures that perform. At the core of his exploration lies a fascination with how objects crafted by human hands often take on new and unexpected meanings beyond their original intentions.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/aya00234.wixsite.com\/ayaka-website\/en\"><strong>Ayaka Yoshida<\/strong><\/a> (b.1993) is an artist based in Hiroshima, Japan. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Her practice traverses abstraction, embodiment, and memory, often emerging from acts of walking, offering, and repetition. Through installations, performances, and time-based works, Yoshida explores the fluid boundaries between structure and organism, self and environment, presence and absence.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tamakiono.com\/\"><strong>Tamaki Ono<\/strong><\/a> (b. 1973) is a visual artist and educator whose practice spans painting, installation, and site-specific projects.
