Reason for Award
Hiragana is a Japanese phonetic script, and ordinarily it is used in ways that express meaning. In this work, however, the artist scrambles up the hiragana to create a world devoid of meaning. Computer graphic hiragana in simple tones and forms are combined with nonexistent phonetics in alight, buoyant rhythm that brings enjoyment and insight to the viewer.
