We use words in many different ways. We use them to express what we feel, to describe the world around us, and to communicate with other people. Words make our lives and our world colorful.
This masterpiece, made from approximately 140,000 hiragana characters, is titled “Universe of Words”, made by Emmanuelle Moureaux.
To celebrate 100 years of the japanese soft drink calpis, emmanuelle moureaux presents [this] new installation… Forming part of the ‘Calpis 100th year anniversary, let’s meet at Tanabata’ exhibition, the work immerses visitors in colored pieces of paper suspended from the ceiling. As the latest in moureaux’s ‘100 colors’ series, the work uses the full spectrum to compose intimate and thoughtful spaces.
The installation was unveiled in July 4, 2019, coinciding with the Japanese star festival, Tanabata.
