*English below.

We recently asked Mr. Ayami, who is active as a painter at the entrance on the first floor of River City 21 Shinkawa, to create a painting using waste materials from the renovation of River City 21 Shinkawa. To commemorate its completion, we will hold an event to unveil the work and allow everyone to experience eco-art.

After making paint by mixing it with a binder (coloring agent) using the tile waste generated at River City 21 Shinkawa, you can experience eco-art by actually trying out the finished paint.

The content is such that you can feel closer to the work by experiencing the production process of the work while listening to Mr. Ayami lecture about the materials.

Teacher

Mr. Ayami

Born in 1996. Born in Nagasaki Prefecture. Living in a camper. In the places he visits, he uses locally available waste materials to create ``artworks that make viewers think about the future'' by confronting local issues and the thoughts of producers. He works as a messenger through art, accurately conveying various issues, thoughts, and the current situation to the whole country.

〈Thoughts about activities〉

In 2020, I learned about the current situation of coral in Okinawa and started thinking about the environment. He begins a journey to turn scrap wood into art with the hope that his paintings will be of some use, but each time he visits the source of the scrap wood, he learns that the scrap wood is nothing more than a "result." There was a social issue in which waste materials became waste materials. Moreover, many of these social issues were things that we were not conscious of even in our daily lives. If each individual becomes aware of this, it will be a big step towards solving social issues. I wonder if I can use pictures to create an opportunity to bring about this awareness. Although I keep my works on hand for the purpose of disseminating my work, I sell them in case they are displayed in a place where many people can see them or where there is a strong connection with the work.

Lecturer

Ayami

Ayami was born in Nagasaki Prefecture in 1996 and lives in a camping-car. She creates "artworks that encourage viewers to think about the future" by facing local issues and thoughts of local producers at the places she visits, using local waste materials. acts as a messenger through art to deliver information on various issues, thoughts, and the current situation to the rest of Japan.

<Thoughts behind the project>

In 2020, Ayami learned about the current state of coral reefs in Okinawa and began to think about the environment. She started her journey of turning scrap wood into art with the hope that her paintings would be useful in some way, but as she visited scrap wood sources, she learned that scrap wood was only the "result" of a set of broader social issues. Moreover, these social issues were all things that we are not conscious of even in our daily lives. If each one of us becomes aware of them, it will be a big step toward actually solving these issues. Ayami wondered if she could create an opportunity to bring about this awareness keeping through my paintings. She her works on hand for her own communication, but sells them when they are exhibiting in places that have a strong connection with her works, and where they can be seen by many people.
