【English Statement】
Hitomi Sato is an installation artist and spatial designer based in Tokyo, working with light as a primary medium.
Through her practice, she explores how perception, materiality, and subtle physical phenomena shape human experience in contemporary spaces.
Her work is rooted in close observation of natural elements—such as water, air, reflection, and fluctuation—and translates these into spatial expressions that engage the senses beyond visual recognition.
By combining architectural thinking with artistic intuition, she creates environments that invite viewers to slow down and re-examine their relationship with space and light.
Hitomi has worked across art exhibitions, brand projects, and international collaborations, bridging art, design, and commercial contexts while maintaining a strong conceptual foundation.
【日本語ステートメント】
光を主要な素材として扱うインスタレーション／空間デザイナーです。
空間における知覚や素材の在り方、そして微細な自然現象が人の感覚に与える影響をテーマに制作を行っています。
水や空気、反射や揺らぎといった自然要素を丁寧に観察し、それらを視覚的な表現にとどまらない空間体験へと翻訳することで、鑑賞者の感覚そのものに働きかける作品を生み出しています。
建築的思考とアート的直感を横断しながら、光と空間の関係性を再考する場を創出します。
これまでに、アート展示、化粧品ブランドのプロジェクト、海外を含むコラボレーションなど、領域を越えた活動を展開しています。
