Okamoto Barba Nami

I create works with space as the theme, using techniques from architectural models and drafting, including drawings and three-dimensional sculptures. Architectural models, which are rarely seen by those outside of related fields and are typically confined to presentation tools, are something I aim to showcase and expand in the world.

I want to convey the charm of architectural models, which, although similar to familiar ‘miniatures’ like dioramas or dollhouses, have a slightly different flavor.
