mole^3《meta-landscapes: extension》

In multicolor woodblock printing, separate blocks are prepared for each color, which are then overprinted in sequence starting from the lightest tones. This work follows that process and is composed of a central piece and its derivatives, all generated through the decomposition and reconstruction of a landscape by color. The layering inherent in multicolor printing is understood here not merely as a technique, but as a structural model that suggests how the world itself is formed. Tokyo’s Shibuya, an urban space where multiple layers of time and culture continuously intersect, is likened to the three-dimensional structure of multicolor woodblock printing. Using this analogy as a conceptual foundation, the imagery is developed into an algorithmic system written in code. By embracing the accumulation of time, culture, and emotion, as well as the element of chance that emerges from their interaction, the work presents an alternative landscape shaped through this process.
