Connecting Shapeshifter and Curious Faceless Shapeshifter (Cream) draw from Masako Miki’s ongoing exploration of yōkai, shapeshifting spirits from Japanese folklore. In both sculptures, elongated biomorphic forms suggest fluidity, transformation, and interconnectedness, while the dotted patterns evoke traditional Japanese textiles and decorative craft traditions. Through these whimsical yet spiritually resonant figures, Miki reimagines folklore through a contemporary sculptural lens.
