遺す、遺さないの選択肢

This exhibition introduces new works, including the 'Heart' jewelry series, which condenses the decision to 'leave behind' into wearable forms, as well as new pieces made from materials collected from daily life in the Marunouchi area.

Ai Degaito explores the process of creating, using, and letting go of objects, focusing on the irreversible nature of materials and the transformation of everyday items into glaze through burning. She investigates the possibility of change and the choices of what to preserve and what to leave behind.

Ai Degaito was born in Asuka Village, Nara Prefecture, and has continued researching glaze since her teens. She has participated in solo exhibitions such as 'Sincere Memory, Glaze' (2025) and group exhibitions such as 'How, Why' (2026). She has also worked on commission projects with various companies and institutions.
