In this new series of ten paintings on linen, Ichise captures fragments of everyday life, small moments that, together, make up life itself. Conceived as a visual anthology, each composition functions like a short film or a haiku, reflecting on fleeting impressions and quiet emotions. For her, painting is not mere representation but a sensory translation, an attempt to capture the sights, textures, and emotions of lived experience.

Working with a restrained palette and deliberate slowness, Ichise allows each scene to unfold with subtle nuance. Soft edges, suspended gestures, and delicate shifts of light evoke the elusiveness of memory—how moments blur, fade, or settle into clarity with time. Rather than illustrating narrative, the works invite contemplation, creating space for viewers to inhabit their own recollections and associations.

Across the series, recurring motifs emerge: a hand brushing against fabric, shadows stretching across a room, the hush of an ordinary afternoon. These fragments speak to the poetry of the everyday, to the way the smallest details can resonate with profound intimacy. In isolating these moments, Ichise reveals the quiet beauty embedded in the rhythms of daily life, encouraging us to linger, to look again, and to feel more deeply.
