Our past serves as a conduit to the future, shaping our perceptions and unfolding visions. Memory lingers in materials, surfaces, and light, quietly shaping how we encounter the present and sense what is yet to emerge.
For Duo Projects, Parallel + presents a focused dialogue between Masayoshi Nojo and Toshio Iezumi, bringing together Rinpa-inspired painting and sculptural glass. Their practices engage memory not as nostalgia, but as an active force, one that carries tradition forward while opening space for innovation. Through distinct yet resonant mediums, both artists draw from historical techniques and aesthetics, transforming them into contemporary expressions that feel at once familiar and newly revealed.
A sensitivity to impermanence quietly permeates this presentation. Shifting light, reflective surfaces, and subtle material changes echo the passing of seasons and the transience of lived experience. Here, memory remains fluid, never fixed, continually dissolving into the present while gesturing toward what is yet to come.

Bringing together artists from Japan, Hong Kong, and the Philippines, this presentation highlights a pivotal moment in their respective practices, a new chapter shaped by risk, experimentation, and renewed clarity. Completing the presentation is a design console by Estudio Material, the San Francisco–based practice led by Mexico City–born artist and designer Damaso Mayer, whose work draws from industrial design, architecture, and landscape architecture.
In a city defined by thresholds, land and water, fog and clarity, natural terrain and constructed form, the presentation resonates with its surroundings. The works assembled here are not bound by a single narrative. Instead, they orbit a shared sensitivity to nuance. Materials absorb, reflect, filter, and refract. Surfaces hold traces of gesture. Forms hover between emergence and dissolution. What appears restrained reveals complexity through sustained looking.
