Hirofumi Fujiwara

1984 in Hiroshima, Japan
based in Karlsruhe, Germany

Hirofumi Fujiwara's figures, initially modeled in clay, stand or sit in space, at rest in themselves with a contemplative gaze directed into the indefinite.

They seem youthful yet ageless, androgynous and detached from any stereotypes – isolated from this world, yet anchored entirely in the moment.
