If you’re in New York this month, treat your soul to James Nakagawa’s solo exhibition at Sepia Eye. Kai is Nakagawa’s ongoing, now twenty-year long visual meditation on the circular nature of change within the family. Nakagawa began the project in 1998 when his father was diagnosed with cancer and his wife Tomoko was pregnant with their daughter, Hikari. In a continuation of the work, we now see his mother at the end of her life, and Hikari as a young woman.

​“Through this cycle of age, I began to recognize time as being circular where the beginning and end can occur simultaneously. Kai is the circle that keeps turning.”

On view at Sepia Eye until May 5^th.
