In recent years, Takaya's interest has deepened from the expression of color itself toward the behavior of the materials that give rise to it.
How matter reveals different phases — and transforms the experience of seeing — within its relations to light, environment, viewpoint, and body: this is the question that runs through her current practice.

The "threshold" named in the exhibition's title is not a simple boundary. It is a critical site that appears in the moment just before meaning takes hold, or in the passage through which dissolved meaning begins to reconstitute itself into another order.
We invite you to shift your position before the works, yield to the conditions of light, and encounter a pictorial space that emerges differently each time.
