Curator's Note:

Ansei Uchima is an artist I have had a keen interest in since I came across my first work of his titled "Footsteps of Winter". This piece reflects a complex multi-layered composition implying the complexity of a natural winter landscape where snow mixes with the natural habitat to create a beautiful new environment. At the same time, to me, it has an emotional undertone which touches on the complex emotions associated with this colder and darker time of year. At times filled with so much joy, and at other times with touches of sadness and nostalgia.
