SUZUKIMI—“Like Breathing” Ongoing

"Like Breathing"

We live by breathing.
And most of the time, we do so without even realizing it.

Encounters with others, passing by strangers, work, and daily routines—unless they are special events—are likely repeated unconsciously, just like breathing.

An art installation made from a milk carton, shaped like an upside-down lung. Inside, handprints inscribed with things that felt “good” or “unpleasant” are suspended. Mirror film has been applied to the backs of the handprints.

What do we feel and see when our paths cross with others?
And is what we see there merely the other person’s appearance?

I want to contemplate the phrase “Others are mirrors that reflect ourselves” slowly, as naturally as breathing.

“Like Breathing”

We live by breathing, a process that largely repeats itself without us even noticing.

Encounters and fleeting moments with others, our work, and our daily routines—unless they involve extraordinary events—seem to unfold in much the same way: unconsciously, like the rhythm of a breath.

This piece is an object made from milk cartons, shaped somewhat like an inverted pair of lungs. Suspended inside are hand-shaped cutouts bearing words that describe things we felt were “good” or “unpleasant.” The backs of these cutouts are lined with mirror-like film.

What do we feel and see as our lives intersect with those of others?

And is it truly just the other person that we see in those moments?

I want to take the time to contemplate the idea that “others are a mirror reflecting oneself”—to reflect on it slowly, as naturally as breathing.
