About the solo exhibition "A Small Sora I Create
This exhibition is an attempt to depict one woman's story.
Each work depicts a woman wearing different accessories and outfits, but upon closer inspection, they are the same woman.
Each piece is accompanied by a story written by Yas herself, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in the story of the woman behind the accessories.
Each piece is also given a special gloss finish to make Yas's transparent depictions appear more three-dimensional. Please come and enjoy the charm of prints that cannot be experienced digitally.

Artist Statement
Have you ever worn a thought?
We usually wear accessories for the sake of fashion.
Are they just for the sake of being fashionable?
The warmth you give me is on my ears, the love I have for you is on my fingertips, and the way you look at me is around my neck.
I believe that the accessories we wear are always filled with some kind of feelings.
The feelings I put into the accessories I wear have a mysterious power, and make the accessories I usually wear without thinking about them into my own special treasures.
Each sparkle has its own story to tell.
A secret world that only I can understand is expanding.
Accessories are mysterious.
I don't just wear them.
They lock in my thoughts and feelings at that moment.
The feelings that are locked away will live forever in that little world (in the accessory).
My feelings for someone are always shining in seven different colors.
Accessories change their color and shine according to the heart of the person wearing them at that time.
It is as if they are enchanted.
Artist Concept
The jewelry looked somewhat lonely.
I felt as if the earrings lying on my dresser were getting dimmer day by day, as if I envied the gems that shine brighter and brighter the more I polish them.
I wish I could shine like that.
I could feel such a desire from you (earrings).
My heart ached.
Yes. It's the same for me.
There is a girl who is the complete opposite of me.
She is bright, has a dazzling smile, and shines like a jewel.
Why can't I be like her? I envy her.
I'm always clouded.
I try to smile, but I can't seem to do it right.
My reflection in the mirror looks somewhat lonely.
We are friends, aren't we?
I muttered to myself and picked it up.
Someday I hope to make the cloudy sky clear.
I thought strongly as I put the earrings on my ears.
It can't rain forever.
Clouds won't cover the world forever.
The day when the sky will clear up will surely come.
There is no reason why I can't do it too.
Even you, who are shaking so fragilely now,
But really, can't you shine like that jewel?
A small earring twinkling in my ear,
It lit up my thoughts.
A small light in a dimly lit cave
I felt that if I aimed there, I could walk straight.
From now on, I will gradually create my own little space.
