Kekkai , Karen Niemi




Kekkai

"Japanese spatial awareness was my inspiration for creating this screen. The original Buddhist concept of "kekkai" was said to exist at the divide between the sacred and the profane. With glass as the medium, the screen is physically ambiguous and allows for a dialogue to occur between these two sides."
