Yayoi Yokoyama has been pursuing artistic expression through 3D programming since Japan's early days of Computer Graphics. For Yokoyama, who believes that there is no boundary between digital and analog, the starting point of her creation is to complete a piece of CG art as if she were producing a painting.
The series in this exhibition, Yokohama develops in a way that each woman feels nostalgic for past events, wraps her in silence, and feels compassion for her. By superimposing the curves of a real woman's body on the abstract curvaceous beauty unique to CG, Yokoyama from a three-dimensional perspective reveals woman's thoughts and doubts, past, emotions, wounds, attachments, regrets, hopes, elation, pride, etc. that women have acquired through their experiences.

日本のCG創成期から3Dプログラミングによるアート表現を追求してきた横山弥生は、表現にはデジタルもアナログも、抽象も具象も、境い目がないと考える。絵画を描くように一枚のCGアートを仕上げるのが制作の原点だ。ニューヨークでの個展は2度目となる今回は、それぞれの女性が過去の事象を懐かしみ、静寂の中に身を包むような、自らを慈しむようなシリーズ展開である。CGならではの抽象的な曲線美に実際の女体の曲線を重ね合わせることで、女性が体感を経て身にまとってきた思いや迷い、過去・感情・傷・執着・後悔・希望・高揚・プライドなどを3次元的視点から表現している。
