Nobuko Watabiki
Nobuko Watabiki’s works, created with Japanese paper and oil pastels, intertwine human forms with botanical motifs to reveal the fluid boundaries of existence and our ties with others. Her perspective, shaped by life abroad, deepens her gaze into the space between self and other, while plants in her work transcend mere motifs to become vessels of emotion. Her art offers quiet questions and creates a space for inner dialogue.
