Works by Haruhiko Sunagawa

"The straight line does not exist in nature".

"So I dare to try to draw the straight line in space, in nature and try to look for the meaning on the geometric form, which is connected by the optional points of the straight line. By the way, the origin of the word Geometry is Géo (earth) and Métrie (measurement). Shapes cut out or penetrated into space give the illusion of the empty space I'm looking for.

From point to straight line, from straight line to plane, these experiments with space in a natural landscape stimulate my imagination like the constellation that is formed by the straight lines between the stars."
