Making moulds of objects such as keys, butterflies, puzzle pieces and bowls, she then casts them in naphthalene a synthetic material commonly found in mothballs. Placed in vitrines, the delicate objects slowly evaporate over a matter of mere weeks. The naphthalene accumulates in crystalline formations on the inside of the glass, a powerful indication of the impermanent, changeable nature of all things. Includes texts by Miyanaga, Jean de Loisy, Akira Tatehata, Yasuyuki Nakai and Shin-Ichi Fukuoka.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Miyanaga Aiko","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57868440928638,"sku":null,"price":175.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/2593\/1985\/files\/nakasora-the-reason-for-eternity-miyanaga-aiko-front.heic?v=1787145863"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.setantabooks.com\/collections\/miyanaga-aiko.oembed","provider":"Setanta Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
