Kobayashi Yuki's work transforms empty packaging from various consumer products encountered in contemporary daily life into meticulously crafted miniature worlds. Through photography, these three-dimensional constructions are translated to the two-dimensional plane, where layered analog techniques ultimately invite viewers to enter these spaces as characters within the miniature narrative.
These distinctive and vibrant environments exist at an intriguing intersection—where familiar product packaging triggers collective memory while merging with stage-like theatrical sets born of the artist's imagination. The resulting worlds evoke a certain nostalgia while departing from reality. We find ourselves wandering into these "stages" precisely because they resonate with some elusive memory embedded within our shared experience.
