The "River" of Pi by Tsuyoshi Hisakado

Artist Tsuyoshi Hisakado just had a new solo exhibition after four long years. His recent event was presented at Ota Fine Arts in Tokyo, and one of the works he showcased is this panel of multiple frames called "River."

From afar, Hisakado's work looks chaotic, with the bunch of lines and the small circle near the center of the work. However, all fall into place once you approach the circle. As you move closer towards the shape, you notice that the lines are paper torn apart. Moving even closer, you notice that the the artwork does not actually have a grey background; the whole work is full of numbers. The numbers of the mathematical constant pi, to be specific. And those numbers begin at the once "small circle," which you realize is just empty space.

Hisakado's works always highlight the laws of nature and the universe — things that we can't wrap our mind with and beyond our understanding.
