Arcturus
DESCRIPTION
Watercolor, gouache, crayon, color pencil, paper | 2022
In her first launch on circular paper, artist Satsuki Shibuya sets her sights to the heavens, using multiple mediums including watercolor and her own hand-crafted paper to tell the human origin story — one that started, and continues, in the stars. In her own words:
We are all from the stars,
star beings as some are told,
particles, dusts, molecules, atoms,
combined, multiplied, to become flesh and blood.
Our reason and existence,
coded from far beyond,
manifested through life, actions, intentions.
From here lies our destiny,
how we choose determines outcomes.
Align with truth; flow with light.

“I associate sounds with colors, or more specifically, certain sound waves as colors. It is a combination of the sound tone, mixed with a sensory connection to the vibration felt throughout the body which produces an association with a particular color.”
