series overview -->日本語
Each of Ryoko Goto's works was originally created as an independent piece.
As she organized her body of work, subtle commonalities in method and theme began to emerge, and some pieces were later grouped into series.
While each work essentially stands alone, many share a similar texture, shaped by sensation, memory, or glimpses of daily life and now quietly form a loose constellation.
These series help provide a gentle structure for the viewer, without limiting the individual interpretation of each piece.
A series exploring subtle emotions and depth that words cannot fully express, through layered textures and abstract forms.
abstract forms
