"Despite their generational and cultural differences, both Monahan and Kurotaki construct a sculptural language that embraces emptiness, instability, and the aesthetics of fragmentation. Rooted in an attitude of deliberate incompleteness, their works inhabit a state of perpetual becoming—evading material certainty and resisting fixed meaning to awaken the viewer’s perceptual and cognitive awareness. Monahan reassembles mythological and art-historical remnants, embedding the fragility of matter and the irreversibility of time into sculptural form. Kurotaki, drawing from the structural logic and physical tension of textiles, reconfigures the human figure within the confines of institutional and informational systems. Together, their practices offer a critical re-reading of structure, material, and space, inviting a deeper reflection on how visibility, memory, and subjectivity are shaped—and unsettled—through the medium of art." -SOM Gallery
